.SH NAME
wol \- Wake On LAN client
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
wol [\fIOPTION\fR] ... \fIMAC\-ADDRESS\fR ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This manual gives you an introduction into \f(CW\*(C`wol\*(C'\fR, the Wake On LAN client.
It remotely turns on computers that supports Magic Packet technology
(also known as Wake On LAN).
.PP
Some workstations support SecureON password feature. These machines only
wake up if you provide the correct password. \f(CW\*(C`wol\*(C'\fR also provides this
feature.
.SH OPTIONS
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP \fB\-\-help\fR 4
.IX Item "--help"
Print a summary of the command line options.
.IP \fB\-V\fR 4
.IX Item "-V"
.PD 0
.IP \fB\-\-version\fR 4
.IX Item "--version"
.PD
Print the version number of \f(CW\*(C`wol\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fB\-h HOST\fR" 4
.IX Item "-h HOST"
.PD 0
.IP \fB\-\-host=HOST\fR 4
.IX Item "--host=HOST"
.IP "\fB\-i HOST\fR" 4
.IX Item "-i HOST"
.IP \fB\-\-ipaddr=HOST\fR 4
.IX Item "--ipaddr=HOST"
.PD
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 \f(CW255.255.255.255\fR).
.IP "\fB\-p NUM\fR" 4
.IX Item "-p NUM"
.PD 0
.IP \fB\-\-port=NUM\fR 4
.IX Item "--port=NUM"
.PD
Send packet with this destination port \fINUM\fR. This option is important if
your packet filter would block the default destination port \f(CW40000\fR.
.IP "\fB\-f FILE\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f FILE"
.PD 0
.IP \fB\-\-file=FILE\fR 4
.IX Item "--file=FILE"
.PD
Read hardware addresses, IP addresses/hostnames, optional ports and SecureON
password from file \fIFILE\fR. If \fIFILE\fR is \fI\-\fR \f(CW\*(C`wol\*(C'\fR reads from
stdin.
.IP \fB\-\fR 4
.IX Item "-"
Read hardware addresses, IP addresses, optional ports and optional SecureON
password from stdin. So you can extract \fIMAC\-ADDRESSES\fR from any source
and pipe the data into \f(CW\*(C`wol\*(C'\fR so.
.IP \fB\-v\fR 4
.IX Item "-v"
.PD 0
.IP \fB\-\-verbose\fR 4
.IX Item "--verbose"
.PD
Turns on verbose output.
.IP "\fB\-w NUM\fR" 4
.IX Item "-w NUM"
.PD 0
.IP \fB\-\-wait=NUM\fR 4
.IX Item "--wait=NUM"
.PD
Waits \fINUM\fR milliseconds between Magic Packets. Also known as fuse health
pack.
.IP \fB\-\-passwd[=PASS]\fR 4
.IX Item "--passwd[=PASS]"
Send a magic packet with SecureON password feature. \fIPASS\fR 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.
.Sp
If you don\*(Aqt provide \fIPASS\fR \f(CW\*(C`wol\*(C'\fR prompts you for a password.
.Sp
To set the password of your SecureON capable NIC, you can use
\&\f(CW\*(C`ethtool\*(C'\fR (<\fBhttp://www.sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/\fR>).
