      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 ")

          2 different pc

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

          more info on http://ahh.sourceforge.net/wol/wol.html

            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>

                thnx for cron…
