The requirements are Python 2.7 installed on the Guacamole machine.
You should be able to run the script from anywhere (I use
/home/adminuserx) and start with /home/adminuserx/guac_wol.py &!
(guac_wol.py being the script name I use). The macs.list file is in the
same directory as the script.
I use it with Guacamole 1.1.0, I needed to change the path to
catalina.out in the script because I upgraded to tomcat8 from 7, but
that was about it. You may need to change the path to the macs.list file
as well.
To my mind it was an interim step until someone with better coding
skills than me produced a 'proper' version that integrated with
Guacamole, or it became part of Guacamole itself. It is a little
'clunky' in that you need to ensure the connection number produced in
the catalina.out log file is correct for the that machine's mac address
as listed in the macs.list file, but that said it's worked well enought
for me in the past couple of years (~60 users).
To my mind it would be best if it were a form field in the individual
connection settings, but that was way beyond my capabilities. However
Nick has mentioned a couple of times that he was producing the extension
I referenced. I expect this would be a lot better, but I've not used it
myself and don't know how finished it is. He may be able to provide an
update?

Hello Ivan,
Could you please explain how to implement your script into guacamole ?
Does it work with guacamole 1.1.0 ?
Place to put, and how to execute upon request.. any detail will be of
help.
Thank you in advance

I've already written a Python script that reads the log and sends
the magic packet as needed. It's been running for a couple of
years now, here's a link:

Nick has been working on a proper extension. I've no idea how far
on it is at present but here's a link for it:

Hi,
I'd like to boot machines up if offline through Guacamole. I've seen that
other users propose to use a script that reads guacamole's log, gets the
connection attempts, looks up the MAC address and performs WOL.??
I guess it might also be done through an extension. Any pointers? Or better
yet, any ready-made code? ;-)
Thanks,
Vieri
