It generates the standard -AMD Magic Packet format, optionally with a password included. The -single required parameter is a station (MAC) address or a host ID that can -be translated to a MAC address by an -.BR ethers (5) -database specified in -.BR nsswitch.conf (5) -. -.SH OPTIONS -\fBether-wake\fP needs a single dash (´-´) in front of options. -A summary of options is included below. -.TP -.B \-b -Send the wake-up packet to the broadcast address. -.TP -.B \-D -Increase the Debug Level. -.TP -.B \-i ifname -Use interface ifname instead of the default "eth0". -.TP -.B \-p passwd -Append a four or six byte password to the packet. Only a few adapters -need or support this. A six byte password may be specified in Ethernet hex -format (00:22:44:66:88:aa) or four byte dotted decimal (192.168.1.1) format. -A four byte password must use the dotted decimal format. - -.TP -.B \-V -Show the program version information. - -.SH EXIT STATUS -This program returns 0 on success. -A permission failures (e.g. run as a non-root user) results in an exit -status of 2. Unrecognized or invalid parameters result in an exit -status of 3. Failure to retrieve network interface information or send -a packet will result in an exit status of 1. - -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR arp (8). -.br -.SH SECURITY -On some non-Linux systems dropping root capability allows the process to be -dumped, traced or debugged. -If someone traces this program, they get control of a raw socket. -Linux handles this safely, but beware when porting this program. -.SH AUTHOR -The etherwake program was written by Donald Becker at Scyld Computing -Corporation for use with the Scyld(\*(Tm) Beowulf System. |
