Rather than a fixed delay, you might want to try using Net::Ping to poll
the client until you get a positive answer. Possibly with some sleep time
between retries, and a long(ish) timeout set to whatever you think is the
boot duration of the client plus some fudge factor to account for network
irregularities, etc. (say, 2 x the typical boot time, which you'd measure
first).

| Subject: [BackupPC-users] Wake-on-lan
|
>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I am trying to get wake-on-lan working for my installation.
I tried '$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = "/usr/share/wol.sh $host";' and this
didn't
work for me. Has anyone else had success with this?
I have gotten as far as implementing the Net::Wake perl module from within
BackupPC_dump perl script.
This correctly wakes the PC but I still get a 'Host not found' error
message. I assume this is because whilst the PC has woken it has not
connected to the network in time for BackupPC to find it.
In short am I approaching this the right way? If I am how do I introduce a
delay between the wake command being issued and BackupPc continuing?
Do you require the scripts I am running?
Cheers
Chris
