Description-en: tool to send magic Wake-on-LAN packets
WOL (Wake-on-LAN) is a standard that allows you to turn on a computer
over an Ethernet connection. Computers with WOL-enabled network
interface cards can be woken from sleep mode, or powered up from
standby via a BIOS feature.
.
One feature that separates etherwake from other implementations is that
it also supports WOL passwords.
