Dear lazyweb (as they say on the anti-social media),
As hard as this is to believe, I only recently started playing with
wake-on-lan. A few of my home lab computers don't need to run all the
time, and so I have discovered that I can just "systemctl suspend" them
and then, later, send them a wake-on-lan packet and have them spring
back to life without the annoying exercise associated with walking down
some stairs to physically interact with them.
One remaining annoyance is that some of the computers or, perhaps,
network cards boot up in the wrong wake-on-lan mode and I have to
reconfigure wake-on-lan with "ethtool". I don't want to have to remember
that every time, so I'm looking for some convenient systemd method for
running the ethtool command line every time it boots.
Anyone happen to have a favorite method, off hand?
These are mostly ubuntu boxes of some permutation or another.
Thanks!
