macOS – Wake Up Servers Using Wake-on-LAN ( WOL ) Command Utility

On macOS, you can use the wakeonlan command-line utility to send a Wake-on-LAN (WOL) magic packet to wake up a server.

You’ll need to know the MAC address of the network interface that you want to wake up. You can typically find this information in the server’s documentation or by using a network scanner tool.

Here’s an example command:

 
wakeonlan XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with the actual MAC address of the network interface you want to wake up.

Note: The wakeonlan utility is not included in macOS by default, but you can install it using a package manager like Homebrew.
