            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.

                  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.
