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 sending a wake packet to all interfaces. +.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 ether-wake program was written by Donald Becker at Scyld Computing +Corporation for use with the Scyld(\*(Tm) Beowulf System. |
