If WakeMeOnLan scans the wrong IP addresses range, you can stop the scan process by pressing F6, and then go to the 'Advanced Options' window (F9), and choose the correct IP addresses range to scan.Īll the computers information collected by WakeMeOnLan is saved into the configuration file (WakeMeOnLan.cfg) for loading it on the next time that you use WakeMeOnLan.
In order to start the network scan, simply press F5. In order to start using it, simple run the executable file - WakeMeOnLan.exeĪfter running WakeMeOnLan, the first thing to do is to scan your network and collect the MAC addresses/computer names/IP addresses on your network. WakeMeOnLan doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. WakeMeOnLan also allows you to turn on a computer from command-line, by specifying the computer name, IP address, or the MAC address of the remote network card. Later, when your computers are turned off or in standby mode, you can use the stored computers list to easily choose the computer you want to turn on, and then turn on all these computers with a single click. When your computers are turned on, WakeMeOnLan allows you to scan your network, and collect the MAC addresses of all your computers, and save the computers list into a file. This will happen automatically if you restart your system, but it is quicker to do it in the terminal.This utility allows you to easily turn on one or more computers remotely by sending Wake-on-LAN (WOL) packet to the remote computers.
The final step is to restart daemon and enable the service.
You will need to have read and write permissions. By default, Ubuntu will not allow you to add files to the systemd folder. The concept of levels, grouping, and how the system manager works is another rabbit hole, but all you need to know for now is that it will start on boot.Īn issue you may run into in this section is permissions. The install section tells systemd that your WOL service should run on the first level. It means that your service manager ( systemd in Ubuntu) will execute the commands once sequentially, which is perfect because you want to change your wake-on-LAN setting to go once. The vital bit in this section is the service and install parts.
