An [Acronym] for __W__ake __O__n __L__an.
A setting that allows a machine to be powered on when a special ethernet frame is received on the network card.
- apt-get install ether-wake
- ether-wake <macaddress>

-If you put a ''macaddr hostname'' mapping into ''/etc/ethers''
you can just do
+Then, (from another machine)
you can use the ether-wake package to send the special ethernet frame.
+On debian: apt-get -u install etherwake.
-
ether-wake <hostname>
+Then from the command line, you can do
+ $ ether-wake <macaddress>
+
+Or you can add an entry to /etc/ethers with macaddress to hostname entries and just do
+ $
ether-wake <hostname>
+(Note that the version of etherwake in [Debian] [Woody] doesn't seem to support this)
+
+Simple!
