Version 1.0
Got a fancy new PC with wake-on-lan? Want to boot it in the middle of the
night to back it up? Or just too lazy to get off your couch to boot your other
machine? Well this package is for you!
WakeLan sends a properly formatted UDP packet across the network which will
cause a wake-on-lan enabled computer to power on. You'll need to find out the
MAC address of your PC. Under linux ifconfig is useful to discover this
information, windoze users can use winipcfg.
INSTALLATION
To install, simply:
./configure
make
make install
If you've got one host that you like to wake up by default you can use the
DEFAULTMAC macro, to select the network you want to broadcast to you can use
the DEFAULTTARGET macro.
USAGE
Usage: ./wakelan [options] [mac] [broadcast] [port]
-b addr broadcast address
-m mac mac address of host
-p port UDP port to broadcast to
-v[v] version
By default the broadcast is 255.255.255.255, and the default port is 32767
