Description
***********
`wol' is a feature rich Wake On LAN utility. Beyond the basic Wake On
LAN function it also provides the ability to send a SecureON password
along with the Magic Packet. Another useful feature is the capability
to read MAC addresses and the corresponding IP addresses/hostnames from
a file or from standard input. You can optionally specify the
corresponding UDP destination port and a SecureON password.
There are also additional `AWK' scripts provided that parse ISC
dhcpd's `dhcpd.conf' and bootpc's `bootptab' and outputs them in `wol's'
native fileformat. They are called `wol-dhcpdconf' and `wol-bootptab'.
You can invoke them as following: `wol-dhcpdconf < /etc/dhcpd.conf |
wol -' or `wol-bootptab < /etc/bootptab | wol -'.
An example of usage is `wol MAC-ADDRESS' which assembles a Magic
Packet which is intended to wake up the NIC with hardware address
MAC-ADDRESS. See 
Examples for additional examples.
If you do not provide the argument in MAC-ADDRESS syntax `wol' tries
to lookup the ethernet address in the `ethers' file. See your systems
documentation for setting up your `ethers' file.
