Having a bit of a problem here that I hope someone may be able to shed some light on. I've got a system I'm turning into a DVR, and when the system's already on, it works perfectly. However, in an effort to save a bit of electricity (along with wear and tear on the hard drives), I'd like to turn the thing off at night, and have my webserver send a WOL magic packet to wake it up roughly 10 minutes before the first show of the afternoon starts. I've installed wol-0.7.1p1 from packages, and it *sometimes* works. I say sometimes because it does exactly that... whether I turn the computer off using the power button on the keyboard, or the shutdown/hibernate modes of Windows XP SP2, there's about a 50/50 chance it'll wake up when the packet gets sent from command line using:
#/usr/local/bin/wol -i 192.168.0.5 00:0a:5e:2c:e1:5d When running from a crontab, it has never worked. Where should I look for the problem? _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
