Well i successfully moved all my 24/24 running application to one of my unraids

and i already put my other unraid down automatically at 01:30 and wake him from my main computer at 09.00 AM

but now i want to put to sleep my main windows machine at lets say also 01:30 and wake him at 08.00 AM

so the logical machine to do that would be the 24/24 running unraid

 

is there anybody using a wolclient on unraid ?

which one ?

and where can we download ?

any installation instructions ?

 

I checked the WOL thread on the wiki but no unraid version came up

Lots of BIOSes have an alarm option under power management (or some similar area) that you can set to wake the computer at a certain time daily.  You may want to look into that as it could be easier, although it would leave you with no way to WOL on demand from unRAID.

Just a thought on that.

If i had the problem i would install the tool WOL on the unRaid machine http://www.slackers.it/repository/wol/pkg/ and than use cron to call the command with the correct options.

To autoinstall you would have to place the package in boot extra and than modify your go script to add the correct line into the cron tab.

Thanks for this :0

 

simple easy and it works

 

going to remove the wol client from my windows now and wake up things from 24/24 unraid

Good to know.

I think it's more a function of the BIOS/network adapter vice an OS issue. Some adapters will only issue the wake signal on a magic packet, some will work with any directed traffic. There are also methods that might be able to be run on your router. If you have a router that can use DD-WRT, I believe I've seen scripts that can watch for directed traffic to a server, and when it sees it, the router can send a magic-packet to the server to wake it. Never tried it myself though.
