Request for any Wake On Lan Tool

[pr1metine]

Something like etherwake or wakeonlan would be much appreciated. This way Blink can add WOL Support.

I'll have a look. I assume this is to wake up other computers, not to wake up your own iPad?

[pr1metine]

Yes, the Tool should wake up another computer. Is it even possible to wake up an iPad?

[instinctive]

Yes this would be very useful... right now I have to wake my powerhouse linux system via the anemic mac mini on the same network:

blink> ssh mymac '/usr/local/bin/wakeonlan -f mylinux.eth'

Hi, just checking. I'm looking for source code for either commands. I found this: https://github.com/gumb0/wol.cpp Does it fit your needs?

[pr1metine]

LGTM. Forgive me for this noob question:

When using wol.cpp, is there a way to wake up a device based on its hostname?

[holzschu]

Hi, wake-on-lan (wol) has been added to the latest release of network_ios: https://github.com/holzschu/network_ios/releases/tag/0.2 As far as I can tell, it works with "wol -b 192.168.0.11 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee", i.e. "wol -b <MAC address of device>". And you'll have to provide the IP address, not the hostname, but you can get it from the hostname using nslookup.
