I've installed wol (wake on lan) on my system. While it works fine if I supply the mac address as part of the command, it doesn't read the mac from a file. I've tried both wol -f filename and wol --file=filename. Even using wol
Any suggestions?
wol $(cat [path_to_]filename_containing_mac_address)
While that does work, I'd still like to know why the documented methods don't.
What do you have in your file? It should contain more than just your mac address
Such as??? WOL creates a magic packet that contains the MAC address. What else has to be included? Using only the MAC address from the command line works fine. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
