This package sends wake-on-lan (AKA magic) packets to turn on machines
|
||
|
|
that are wake-on-lan capable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For now there is only one function in this package:
|
||
|
|
Net::Wake::by_udp([$host], $mac_address, [$port]);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can omit the colons in the $mac_address, but not leading zeros.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generally speaking, you should use a broadcast address for $host. Using
|
||
|
|
the host's last known IP address is usually not sufficient since the IP
|
||
|
|
address may no longer be in the ARP cache. A $host value of
|
||
|
|
'255.255.255.255' is implied if $host is undef. If you wish to send a
|
||
|
|
magic packet to a remote subnet, you can use a variation of
|
||
|
|
'192.168.0.255', given that you know the subnet mask to generate the
|
||
|
|
proper broadcast address.
