![]() ![]() I could then SSH into the box and do my wacky bit of science. You can get the MAC address in many ways, but an easy one is to run ifconfig on the server (may need to be root): c:\bin\> wakeup 00:25:F3:C9:98:F8Īt the prompt and… bingo. I mean, who needs a GUI for this kind of thing!Ĭopied wakeup.exe into my bin dir - no need for admin, which is good - and ran it - note that 00:25:F3:C9:41:F8 is the MAC address of the Ethernet card on the server in the shed, and the BIOS is set to allow WOL. (Better things to do.) If does not work out of the box … into the bin! PS> Uninstall-Module -Name WakeOnLanįound a utility described as ‘a bit old’. On my old laptop, that takes a while! It installed but did not work - did not even run. Found a couple of options.įollowing … PS> Install-Module -Name WakeOnLan I looked for but did not see anything in the Cygwin repository. The laptop runs Windows 10, and I use Cygwin on Windows. So let’s assume the box was put to sleep using the pm-suspend command. So, the simple plan is to install pm-utils on the box (Devuan) and use a wake-on-LAN (WOL) utility on the laptop. Now, suspending does not zero power use, but does cut it down a lot. The idea is that we don’t want the fan and suchlike making noise in the house when the machine runs overnight, so it is in the shed, but I also don’t want it wasting electricity by running when not needed. ![]() I want to be able to control it from my laptop. I have a Linux box in the shed that I want to be able to log in to using SSH to run numerical calculations. ![]()
