Thanks brendan for the quick reply.

The last part of your edit said to add #! /usr/bin/python to the beginning. Is that only if I have to use

chown root:root /home/user/wol.py

because of it error-ing out? Or just add it in general?

ie...

#! /usr/bin/python

# Construct a six-byte hardware address............


By the way, I used PyGTKEditor and copied the script's content to a file called wol.py, saved it to Documents folder and used X-terminal (with becomeroot) to gain access to root. I copied wol.py to /home/user/ using the command-line. I couldn't gain access to /home/user/ from PyGTKEditor directly.

The wol.py script didn't work but I think I have a router config problem.
