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/>).
