I am trying to get wake-on-lan working for my installation.
I tried '$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = "/usr/share/wol.sh $host";' and

work for me. Has anyone else had success with this?
I found that Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} didn't suffice as the system seemed
to ping the host prior to running Conf{DumpPreUserCmd}. I worked
around that by writing a short kludge of a script and setting it as
the system ping:
$Conf{PingPath} = '/usr/local/backuppc/data/etc/wakehost';
which looks like:
----
#!/bin/sh
PING=/sbin/ping
ARG1=$1
ARG2=$2
WAKEHOST=$3
WAKEONLAN="/usr/local/backuppc/data/etc/wakeonlan-0.41/wakeonlan"
$PING $ARG1 $ARG2 $WAKEHOST || ($WAKEONLAN -f ~backuppc/pc/$WAKEHOST/
mac_address && s
leep 10 && $PING $ARG1 $ARG2 $WAKEHOST) || exit 1
----
The mac address to send the wake up packet to for each machine is
kept in a file called "mac_address" in the machine's directory (I
have another ugly script to generate those). So far "it works",
though if the system ping is ever used with arguments other than a
count and host this will break.
