Think this should work :)
From console

ee /usr/local/etc/rc.d/wol_start.sh


#!/bin/sh
wol 00:4F:49:07:0B:5F 00:4F:50:06:12:4F

(To exit & save press " esc a a ")

thnx i will try

edit:
i have a question, why is the mac address twice ?

Perry

2 different pc

I think this will be better
wol –host=192.168.1.255 -p 69 00:4F:49:07:0B:5F

i get it..
but i don't want to power on my whole LAN.. only few PCs.. so i will do just wol for each mac address…

thanks again..

edit: and how can I easly create cron to start that script every 30 minutes ? :)

It is to limit it to 1 pfsense nic and pc mac 00:4F:49:07:0B:5F

ee /cf/conf/config.xml (add following lines under <cron>)

<minute>/30</minute>
<hour></hour>
<mday></mday>
<month></month>
<wday>*</wday>
<who>root</who>
<command></command>/usr/local/etc/rc.d/wol_start.sh</cron>

hmm, i don't understand.. how is it limited to send magic packet from one nic ? (192.168.1.255)

thnx for cron…
