NAME

pwol - Send Wake-On-LAN (WoL) packets to wake-up hosts over the network

SYNOPSIS

pwol [options] [<hosts|groups>]

DESCRIPTION

pwol is a tool that can be used to send WoL (Wake-On-LAN) network packets in order to wake-up sleeping hosts, either directly or via routers.

It can also be used as a WoL proxy daemon listening to incoming WoL packets (possibly authenticated) and then forwarding requests to one or many other targets.

If no hosts or groups are specified on the command line then pwol will read them from the command line.
