Ubuntu Linux: Install Wake On Lan Client For Server

by

To install a Wake-on-LAN client on an Ubuntu Linux server, you can use the etherwake package. Here’s how to install it:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Install the etherwake package by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install etherwake
  1. After the installation is complete, you can use the etherwake command to send a Wake-on-LAN packet to a target server. Here’s an example:
sudo etherwake -i <interface> <MAC address>

Replace <interface> with the network interface that you want to use to send the Wake-on-LAN packet (e.g., eth0) and <MAC address> with the MAC address of the target server.

For example:

sudo etherwake -i eth0 00:11:22:33:44:55

This will send a Wake-on-LAN packet to the server with the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 using the eth0 interface.
