@cmb:

which wol

Can wake on lan work without it? Is it enough with services_wol.php ? Here it dont…

He wasn't asking "which wol?", he was posting results from the "which" command, which shows the file is in place as it should be on the installs he checked.

Heh, ok sorry. i didnt know that. :-X
Still is/was strange tho…i never removed it,
but probably something i did anyway.
Couldnt understand how everybody was able to wake up computers from gui
and i couldnt wake up anything. After i found and put the wol command in place all is fine.

built on Thu Aug 7 09:18:26 EDT 2008 (will upgrade to latest snapshot after the weekend)

This install wasn't an upgrade from 1.2 btw. It was installed from (pfSense-20080727-1200.iso.gz)

yeah it doesn't seem to be in the update file at least, though I'm not sure how all my installs apparently ended up with it. It must have disappeared with a more recent change. We'll check into it.

cmb · Aug 10, 2008, 9:07 PM
