I am not very familiar with wake on lan, but you could insert a sleep
in you DumpPreUserCmd.
An easy way to do it is to insert a sleep in the end of wol.sh, if you
don't want to change anything in this script, just do another one
which calls wol.sh for you and insert the sleep in the end.
The one bellow should be enough, save it and put it in DumpPreUserCmd.
---------------
#!/bin/bash
wol.sh $1
sleep 1m
