WOL (wake up on lan) needs network interfaces not to shut down.
/etc/init.d/halt has -i hardcoded in it.
I would wish, to have a option in
/etc/default/halt
like:
# Shut down network interfaces, set to "no" to avoid it for WOL
NETDOWN=yes
/etc/init.d/halt needs following changes:
# Don't shut down network interfaces, when using WOL
netdown="-i"
if [ "$NETDOWN" = "no" ]
then
netdown=""
fi
and simple change halt to:
halt -d -f $netdown $poweroff $hddown
This makes upgrades of /etc/init.d/halt smoothly and this
discussion/comments may let people have a working WOL more easy.
