WOL(1)                                wol                               WOL(1)

NAME
       wol - Wake On LAN client

SYNOPSIS
       wol [OPTION] ... MAC-ADDRESS ...

DESCRIPTION
       This manual gives you an introduction into "wol", the Wake On LAN
       client.  It remotely turns on computers that supports Magic Packet
       technology (also known as Wake On LAN).

       Some workstations support SecureON password feature. These machines
       only wake up if you provide the correct password. "wol" also provides
       this feature.

OPTIONS
       --help
           Print a summary of the command line options.

       -V
       --version
           Print the version number of "wol".

       -h HOST
       --host=HOST
       -i HOST
       --ipaddr=HOST
           Broadcast packet to this IP address or hostname. This is important
           if your wol client is a multihomed host and you want to send only
           to one subnet (default IP address is 255.255.255.255).

       -p NUM
       --port=NUM
           Send packet with this destination port NUM. This option is
           important if your packet filter would block the default destination
           port 40000.

       -f FILE
       --file=FILE
           Read hardware addresses, IP addresses/hostnames, optional ports and
           SecureON password from file FILE. If FILE is - "wol" reads from
           stdin.

       -   Read hardware addresses, IP addresses, optional ports and optional
           SecureON password from stdin. So you can extract MAC-ADDRESSES from
           any source and pipe the data into "wol" so.

       -v
       --verbose
           Turns on verbose output.

       -w NUM
       --wait=NUM
           Waits NUM milliseconds between Magic Packets. Also known as fuse
           health pack.

       --passwd[=PASS]
           Send a magic packet with SecureON password feature. PASS is written
           as x-x-x-x-x-x, where x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff
           which represents one byte of the password.

           If you don't provide PASS "wol" prompts you for a password.

           To set the password of your SecureON capable NIC, you can use
           "ethtool" (<http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/>).
