      isnt there supposed to be a wol command in /usr/local/bin/ ?
      services_wol.php refers to it

              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.
