 Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2008 1:39 am Post subject: WOL (Wake on Lan), an easier way? |
 |
|
I have a setup with a main server and several other boxes. (MythTV) I have just finished setting up WOL following the guide at gentoo-wiki. Is there a good way to wake up an individual computer without having to remember it's MAC address? I'm thinking there must be some way to put them in a file somewhere and wake them up by using the host name or something? Perhaps I need to write a script to achieve this? I was considering writing a script that would wake whichever computer I told it, or could be setup to wake all the computers. Anything like that already available?
Any ideas out there?
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.

how about using aliases in ~/.bashrc?
| Code: | alias power2foo='wakeonlan 00:de:ad:be:ef:00'
alias power2bar='wakeonlan 00:11:22:33:44:55'
alias power2baz='wakeonlan 66:77:88:99:aa:bb'
alias power2all='power2foo ; power2bar ; power2baz' |
