I need some help with a LAN setup: We need to set up a few machines running Linux that can be started up using the Wake-on-LAN facility available in many new PCs and network cards (such as the Etherexpress Pro 100). Has anyone ever done this? The controlling machine will be a Linux box too - it should be able to send Wake-on-LAN commands to selected machines to wake them up for late-night operation, as well as having the machines up and running at 9am when the office staff comes in. This willr equire Wake-on-LAN capable software on the controlling machine running under Linux. I assume that the client PCs will not require any special software as such, since the stuff seems to be BIOS controlled -the signal would basically cause the machine to boot (after which Linux installed on these machines takes charge and becomes accessible). Any help would be appreciated.
