NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

ether-wake \u2212 A tool to send a Wake-On-LAN “Magic Packet”<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

ether-wake<\/b> [options<\/i>] Host-ID<\/i><\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

This manual page documents the usage of the ether-wake<\/b> command.<\/p>\n

ether-wake<\/b> is a program that generates and transmits a Wake-On-LAN (WOL) “Magic Packet”, used for restarting machines that have been soft-powered-down (ACPI D3-warm state). It generates the standard AMD Magic Packet format, optionally with a password included. The single required parameter is a station (MAC) address or a host ID that can be translated to a MAC address by an ethers<\/b>(5) database specified in nsswitch.conf<\/b>(5)<\/p>\n

OPTIONS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

ether-wake<\/b> needs a single dash (\u00c2\u00b4-\u00c2\u00b4) in front of options. A summary of options is included below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

\u2212b<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Send the wake-up packet to the broadcast address.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\n

\u2212D<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Increase the Debug Level.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\u2212i ifname<\/b><\/p>\n

Use interface ifname instead of sending a wake packet to all interfaces.<\/p>\n

\u2212p passwd<\/b><\/p>\n

Append a four or six byte password to the packet. Only a few adapters need or support this. A six byte password may be specified in Ethernet hex format (00:22:44:66:88:aa) or four byte dotted decimal (192.168.1.1) format. A four byte password must use the dotted decimal format.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

\u2212V<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

Show the program version information.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

EXIT STATUS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

This program returns 0 on success. A permission failures (e.g. run as a non-root user) results in an exit status of 2. Unrecognized or invalid parameters result in an exit status of 3. Failure to retrieve network interface information or send a packet will result in an exit status of 1.<\/p>\n

SEE ALSO <\/a> <\/h2>\n

arp<\/b>(8).<\/p>\n

SECURITY <\/a> <\/h2>\n

On some non-Linux systems dropping root capability allows the process to be dumped, traced or debugged. If someone traces this program, they get control of a raw socket. Linux handles this safely, but beware when porting this program.<\/p>\n

AUTHOR <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The ether-wake program was written by Donald Becker at Scyld Computing Corporation for use with the Scyld(\u2122) Beowulf System.<\/p>\n
