While there is no power management for the Amiga (yet), it is still
possible to control other machines which do feature it.

This is a client for the Wake On LAN protocol found in newer ethernet cards and
motherboards. When properly configured, such a machine can keep its ethernet
card powered up waiting for a specific packet to arrive while the rest of the
computer is powered down. On receiving this packet the ethernet card activates
the 'soft on' of ATX/WOL motherboards and powers the entire machine up. This
program generates this packet.

Usage: hpwake <ethernet MAC address>

Get the MAC address from the machine while it is running using arp (firstly,
contact the machine in some way (ping) to cause an initial address query to
store
the MAC address in the local arp tables). e.g., with Miami:

41.Ram Disk:> miamiping avan
PING loki (192.168.1.13): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.13: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=2.7 ms

--- avan ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 2.7/2.699/2.7 ms

41.Ram Disk:> miamiarp -a
nuke (192.168.1.1) at (incomplete) permanent
mono (192.168.1.6) at 00:60:30:00:47:C3
rhic (192.168.1.11) at 02:40:95:50:0F:3A
avan (192.168.1.13) at 00:40:95:00:09:CD
loki (192.168.1.14) at 00:40:95:10:0A:EC
...

To test this, enable WOL on the target machine (BIOS & ethernet card
configuration), ensure the WOL wire is connected, put the machine into 'soft
off' (shutdown on Windows, shutdown -h on unix) and run hpwake:

41.Ram Disk:> hpwake 00:40:95:00:09:CD

... will bring the machine 'avan', listed above, out of power down.



The source is a straight compile with gcc (hence needs ixemul) from a wake
program intended for HP-UX. It appears to be freeware. Anyone with gcc can make
their own binary, this Aminet upload is for the convenience of those who don't
have gcc.
