Depicus WoL Command Line
 |
The command line tool WoLcmd.exe is run from a dos prompt. The syntax is as follows:
Note this symbol [•] means type a space
wolcmd • [mac address] • [ip address] • [subnet mask]
A local broadcast can also be performed on an internal network:
wolcmd • [mac address] • 255.255.255.255 • 255.255.255.255
where mac address is the unique address of the network card. To find the mac address of a card using TCP/IP, ping the machine name or ip number then issue an arp command (arp -a) which will list the ip number and physical address of the card.
Running from a batch file
Simply add multiple entries thus:
wolcmd • 009027a324fe • 195.188.159.20 • 255.255.255.0
wolcmd • 009024a731da • 212.86.64.31 • 255.255.255.0
** NOTE Remove hyphens from MAC Address if you copy and paste from another source **
To run the batch file, say half an hour before everybody gets into work, use the AT command on a Windows NT/2K/XP/03 computer.
The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use the AT command. The syntax is as follows:
AT [\\computername] [ [id] [/DELETE] | /DELETE [/YES]]
AT [\\computername] time [/INTERACTIVE]
[ /EVERY:date[,...] | /NEXT:date[,...]] "command"
\\computername Specifies a remote computer. Commands are scheduled on the local computer if this parameter is omitted.
id Is an identification number assigned to a scheduled command
/delete Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the scheduled commands on the computer are cancelled
/yes Used with cancel all jobs command when no further confirmation is desired
time Specifies the time when command is to run
/interactive Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the use who is logged on at the time the job runs
/every:date[,...] Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed
/next:date[,...] Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, current day of the month is assumed
"command" Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run
