WOL(8)

NAME

wol − send wake-on-lan Ethernet packet

SYNOPSIS

­ip/wol [ ­-v ] [ ­-a ­dialstr ] [ ­-c ­password ] ­macaddr

DESCRIPTION

­Wol sends a magic wake-on-lan Ethernet packet to dialstr (default udp!255.255.255.255!0, the IPv4 broadcast address), intended to wake up the machine with an Ethernet interface with the MAC address macaddr. ­Macaddr is not used to route the packet, but is inserted into the magic packet as required by the wake-on-lan protocol. 

An optional ­password of at most six bytes can be sent.  The option ­-v prints verbose information about the packet sent.
