Schedule wake all devices
-
Hi,
Which command does pfsense executes, when wake all devices is clicked, in wake on lan service.
I need to schedule waking of multiple devices. -
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense]/root: wol --help Usage: wol [OPTION] ... MAC-ADDRESS ... Wake On LAN client - wakes up magic packet compliant machines. --help display this help and exit -V, --version output version information and exit -v, --verbose verbose output -w, --wait=NUM wait NUM millisecs after sending -h, --host=HOST broadcast to this IP address or hostname -i, --ipaddr=HOST same as --host -p, --port=NUM broadcast to this UDP port -f, --file=FILE read addresses from file FILE ("-" reads from stdin) --passwd[=PASS] send SecureON password PASS (if no PASS is given, you will be prompted for the password) Each MAC-ADDRESS is written as x:x:x:x:x:x, where x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff which represents one byte of the address, which is in network byte order (big endian). PASS is written as x-x-x-x-x-x, where x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff which represents one byte of the password. Report bugs to <krennwallner@aon.at> [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense]/root:It uses the WOL command, get yourself a Raspberry PI, install the WOL software and get creative with a shell script that does a for loop incrementing the IP address.

Hi,
You want to type the command - or script something up ? ..... but you don't want to look at other scripts ?? ;)
Things do not work like that.
Document first - the writing is done afterwards.The command for FreeBSD to Wakeup On Line will take several nanoseconds if you feed your question in Google, so I presume you want to script.
Btw : it's "wol" - see the manual for the parameters.
I really hope I'm not going to tell you something new here ....
Hover the mouse over the button :
and look at the left bottom corner of your browser windows : some very important information is shown over there :
You see the parameter "wakeall=true" ?
You see the filename : services_wol.php ? (worlds most stupid script language )
Look in that script file - use Ctrl-F and bingo :
-
Can't I do it from pfsense itself, to send magic pakets to all devices at once on scheduled time, with crin job
-
@Gertjan thanks, I'll try this

@anilkapoorbind said in Schedule wake all devices:
Can't I do it from pfsense itself,
On the command line, you typing the commands, and the list on paper with all the MAC addresses, yes.
Or a shell script file that parser a file - why not : the config.xml file that contains all the MAC's in the form of a DHCP Static MAC lease, seems very possible to me.Or execute from cron the PHP file I mentioned above with the param I mentioned above, it should work.
-
You want to actually use the list defined in the WoL page in pfSense or just wake devices in general?
-
I'm trying to wake up the whole lan too using this command :
php /usr/local/www/services_wol.php wakeall=true
But it doesn't work....
Have anyone any idea that could help?
