Description

Wakes compatible computers over the network by sending Wake-On-LAN magic packets. It is useful for administrators and home users who want to power on another machine remotely before connecting, backing up, or starting maintenance.

This is a small terminal tool. It needs the target device, firmware, network card, and network path to support Wake-On-LAN, and it should be used only on networks where sending wake packets is expected.

How to run
