NAME
wakeonlan - Perl script to wake up computers SYNOPSIS
wakeonlan [-h] [-v] [-i IP_address] [-p port] [-f file] [[hardware_address] ...] DESCRIPTION
This script sends 'magic packets' to wake-on-lan enabled ethernet adapters and motherboards, in order to switch on the called PC. Be sure to connect the NIC with the motherboard if neccesary, and enable the WOL function in the BIOS. The 'magic packet' consists of 6 times 0xFF followed by 16 times the hardware address of the NIC. This sequence can be encapsulated in any kind of packet. This script uses UDP packets. OPTIONS
-h Displays the help information. -v Displays the script version. -i ip_address Destination IP address. Unless you have static ARP tables you should use some kind of broadcast address (the broadcast address of the network where the computer resides or the limited broadcast address). Default: 255.255.255.255 (the limited broadcast address). -p port Destination port. Default: 9 (the discard port). -f file File with hardware addresses of wakeable computers. For an example check the file lab001.wol in the examples subdirectory. EXAMPLES
Using the limited broadcast address (255.255.255.255): $ wakeonlan 01:02:03:04:05:06 $ wakeonlan 01:02:03:04:05:06 01:02:03:04:05:07 Using a subnet broadcast address: $ wakeonlan -i 192.168.1.255 01:02:03:04:05:06 Using another destination port: $ wakeonlan -i 192.168.1.255 -p 1234 01:02:03:04:05:06 Using a file as source of hardware and IP addresses: $ wakeonlan -f examples/lab001.wol $ wakeonlan -f examples/lab001.wol 01:02:03:04:05:06 AUTHOR

Name
       condor_power send - packet intended to wake a machine from a low power state

Synopsis
       condor_power [-h]

       condor_power[-d] [-m MACaddress] [-s subnet] [ClassAdFile]

Description
       condor_powersends  one UDP Wake on LAN (WOL) packet to a machine specified either by command line arguments or by the contents of a machine
       ClassAd. The machine ClassAd may be in a file, where the file name specified by the optional argument ClassAdFileis given  on  the  command
       line. With no command line arguments to specify the machine, and no file specified, condor_powerquietly presumes that standard input is the
       file source which will specify the machine ClassAd that includes the public IP address and subnet of the machine.

       condor_powerneeds a complete specification of the machine to be successful. If a MAC address is provided on the command line, but no subnet
       is  given,  then  the  default value for the subnet is used. If a subnet is provided on the command line, but no MAC address is given, then
       condor_powerfalls back to taking its information in the form of the machine ClassAd as provided in a file or on standard input.	Note  that
       this case implies that the command line specification of the subnet is ignored.

Options
       -h

	  Print usage information and exit.

       -d

	  Enable debugging messages.

       -m MACaddress

	  Specify the MAC address in the standard format of six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by colons.

       -s subnet

	  Specify  the subnet in the standard form of an IP address. Without this option, the default subnet used will be 255.255.255.255, causing
	  a broadcast.

Exit Status
       condor_powerwill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
