WOL script for RouterTech firmware - possible?

[Winno]

Not being a linux techie, I was wondering is it possible to send a WOL packet from a script.

The idea is I could run as a cron job on the router and wake up a PC on my LAN.

Possible?

Should be reasonably straightforward - check this link for the basic info. and a java example :-

I Compiled the attached program WAKELAN and tested on the last routertech firmware V 2.1.

Il can wake up a computer in the lan and can be used in a cron script.

The usage is:
Usage: ./wakelan [options] [mac] [broadcast] [port]
-b addr broadcast address
-m mac mac address of host
-p port UDP port to broadcast to
-v[v] version

It is compiled form the source at ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/ ... 1.1.tar.gz

You have to load it in the var directory of the router with sft, to change permission (chmod +x) and after You can execute it.

unfortunatey is a stand alone package not included in the firmware, so if You reboot the router You have to reload it.... It would be fantastic if it could be added to a future release of firmware.

Looks interesting, and, better still, it is GPLed. We might consider adding it to the next RT firmware release (v2.2). Thanks.
Edit: PS - I was talking about building from source, not the precompiled binary.

BusyBox 1.2.x already has ether-wake in the source

That's good to know for future reference. But we're sticking with 0.61pre for the time being ...
