WAKEONLAN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual WAKEONLAN(8)NAME
wakeonlan -- send Wake on LAN frames to hosts on a local Ethernet network
SYNOPSIS
wakeonlan [interface] lladdr [lladdr ...]
DESCRIPTION
The wakeonlan program is used to send Wake on LAN (WoL) frames over a local Ethernet network to one or more hosts using their link layer
(hardware) addresses. WoL functionality is generally enabled in a machine's BIOS and can be used to power on machines from a remote system
without having physical access to them.
interface is an Ethernet interface of the local machine and is used to send the Wake on LAN frames over it. If there is only one Ethernet
device available that is up and running, then the interface argument can be omitted. lladdr is the link layer address of the remote machine.
This can be specified as the actual hardware address (six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons) or as a hostname entry in /etc/ethers.
wakeonlan accepts multiple lladdr addresses. Link layer addresses can be determined and set using ifconfig(8).
FILES
/etc/ethers Ethernet host name data base.

ethers(4) File Formats ethers(4)NAME
ethers - Ethernet address to hostname database or domain
DESCRIPTION
The ethers file is a local source of information about the (48-bit) Ethernet addresses of hosts on the Internet. The ethers file can be
used in conjunction with or instead of other ethers sources, including the NIS maps ethers.byname and ethers.byaddr, the NIS+ table ethers,
or Ethernet address data stored on an LDAP server. Programs use the ethers(3SOCKET) routines to access this information.
The ethers file has one line for each host on an Ethernet. The line has the following format:
Ethernet-address official-host-name
Items are separated by any number of SPACE and/or TAB characters. A `#' indicates the beginning of a comment extending to the end of line.
The standard form for Ethernet addresses is "x:x:x:x:x:x" where x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff, representing one byte. The
address bytes are always in network order. Host names may contain any printable character other than SPACE, TAB, NEWLINE, or comment char-
acter.
