wol
The command line tool "wol" stands for "Wake-on-LAN." It is used to send a special network packet known as the Magic Packet to wake up a device remotely. "Wake-on-LAN" is a feature present in many modern computers and network devices that enables them to be powered on remotely. The tool requires the physical (MAC) address of the device that needs to be woken up, which is unique to each network interface. The MAC address is used to create the Magic Packet, which is then broadcasted on the local network. The destination device checks for specific patterns in the Magic Packet and if a match is found, the device powers on. The "wol" command is commonly used in network administration and management scenarios to remotely wake up machines for maintenance, updates, or other administrative tasks.
