This article describes how to start a client by Wake on LAN using a computer's hostname.

Installation

After including the Cool Solutions Repository, the package univention-wakeonlan must be installed:

univention-install univention-wakeonlan

All needed dependencies are installed automatically.

Configuration

No further configuration is needed for the script to run. The script looks up the target's MAC address in the LDAP using the hostname and then sends the magic package to the MAC address.

Run the script by calling it with a hostname:
