Wake on Lan Command Line

The command line tool wolcmd is run from a dos prompt. The syntax is as follows:

wolcmd [mac address] [ip address] [subnet mask] [port number]

you can also do a local broadcast if you are running on an internal network thus

wolcmd [macaddress] 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 4343

where mac address is the unique address of the network card. To find the mac address of a card you can either open the computer and read the address on the sticker on the card or much easier is, if you are using TCP/IP, ping the machine from a dos prompt (ping [machine name or ip number] i.e. ping delphi or ping 10.43.43.43) then issue an arp command (arp -a) which will list the ip number and physical address of the card.

If the port number is not specified it will default to port 7

Running from a batch file

Simply add multiple entries thus:

wolcmd 009027a324fe 195.188.159.20 255.255.255.0 8900 
wolcmd 009024a731da 212.86.64.31 255.255.255.0 8900

To run the batch file, say half an hour before everybody gets into work, use the AT command on a Windows NT computer.

The AT command schedules commands and programs to run on a computer at a specified time and date. The Schedule service must be running to use the AT command.
