Folks, For those of you are interested in a piece of code which can be used to wake up sleeping babies ;-) ftp://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/linux/misc/ether-wake.c A few lines cut-paste from the site. This program generates and transmits a Wake-On-LAN (WOL) "Magic Packet",used for restarting machines that have been soft-powered-down (ACPI D3-warm state). It currently generates the standard AMD Magic Packet format, with an optional password appended.
