Script for managing entire LAN with WoL functionality
Short desc as I wrote it in email to few people...
No docs is available :( it's script I made for an internet caffe, so
it's in Slovak... but function names and some comments are in
english, so I hope it won't be big problem for you.
How it works:
It's one class which can wake-up computer by sending magic packet to
defined IP address and port, but must know MAC addr also. It can
ping IP address - using UDP, because you can define timeout (which
is not possible using default ping program). It does it by sending
request to UDP "time" port and waits for any answer/reject. No
answer means PC is off.
The script for inet caffe uses mysql db for storing IP/MAC pairs of
known computers. Main page then presents you list of computers with
their status - on/off (they must respond to that UDP ping). You can
select which of them to wake-up.
Another script is to add new PCs do db. You select range of IPs to
ping and then it tries to read MAC addrs from "arp" command - so
computers must be on. Or you can add them manually to db.
If you have any questions, just ask :)
