Hello Maemo,

Anybody using VNC Viewer found any app, or know a method to send a WOL packet over the net's to wake a sleeping VNC server computer?

I know dslreports will allow you to send over the net, but I don't like having something like that done by an outside party.

Anybody using / know / have an idea on it?

2d

You could do it in python:
Code:
import socket
s=socket.socket(socket.af_inet, socket.sock_dgram)
s.setsockopt(socket.sol_socket, socket.so_broadcast, 1)
s.sendto('\xff'*6+'\x00\x50\x2c\x01\x99\x52'*16, ("255.255.255.255",9))
Just replace the MAC of your target in the last line in between the \x, then save as WOL.py

Or a version slightly cleaner:

# Wake-On-LAN

# Copyright (C) 2002 by Micro Systems Marc Balmer
# Written by Marc Balmer, marc@msys.ch, http://www.msys.ch/
# This code is free software under the GPL

import struct, socket

def WakeOnLan(ethernet_address):

  # Construct a six-byte hardware address

  addr_byte = ethernet_address.split(':')
  hw_addr = struct.pack('BBBBBB', int(addr_byte[0], 16),
    int(addr_byte[1], 16),
    int(addr_byte[2], 16),
    int(addr_byte[3], 16),
    int(addr_byte[4], 16),
    int(addr_byte[5], 16))

  # Build the Wake-On-LAN "Magic Packet"...

  msg = '\xff' * 6 + hw_addr * 16

  # ...and send it to the broadcast address using UDP

  s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
  s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
  s.sendto(msg, ('<broadcast>', 9))
  s.close()

# Example use
WakeOnLan('0:3:93:81:68:b2')
If you want wake from internet and if you have registered a dynamic DNS service you must change the red code in
Code:
socket.gethostbyname('YOURDYNAMICDNSIP')
or if you have a static ip or you are in lan
Code:
'YOURROUTERIP'
and blue code
Code:
'Mac_Address_Of_Pc_You_Want_Wake'
On the router you must forward port nine to the ip address of machine that you want to wake

I just wrote my own QT application to do this. see this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=780228.

WoLAN is in extra testing.

there's also an older WOL app which I use - it will auto-detect the MAC from the given IP address and will then allow you to save the computer(s) as a custom ame/icon in its UI so that you can select your computer(s) to wake easily in future. Works very well. See http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52058

I just wanted to point out that there's another app for this in the repositories:
Crochik Cute WakeOnLan (Simply called WakeOnLan in the menu.)
Looks quite decent. I still can't get it to work, but that probably has nothing to do with the application.

Edit: just noticed the poster above me already mentioned it. Oh well.
Edit 2: I just got it to work. The issue was fixed with the help of this information.
