Wake-up a network mac -- How to do that ?

[KC Hundere]

It looks like you should be able to download the code from here:

https://github.com/jpoliv/wakeonlan

In that zip file is a wakeonlan executable script.   Should be as simple as:

/path/to/script/wakeonlan <MAC address>

I don't have a machine to wake up, but I get what appears to be a proper
response from the script:

user at bigmac % ./wakeonlan 4C:20:B8:EB:44:C1
Sending magic packet to 255.255.255.255:9 with payload 4C:20:B8:EB:44:C1
Hardware addresses: <total=1, valid=1, invalid=0>
Magic packets: <sent=1>

>From XTension, do aysync shell script "/path/to/script/wakeonlan <MAC
address>"

Good Luck.
