WAKEONLAN SEND SHUTDOWN PC
In my experience my PC trends to be more reliable than the Pi. It looks like a well thought out way to set things up. Thanks for posting the link and information. Sat 12:04 you look at the link I posted above?
WAKEONLAN SEND SHUTDOWN SOFTWARE
It's not as cheap as a home grown software only solution but still.Įdit: I never did get around to adding secureon support but I guess I could do so if there's a desire for it. Minimal hardware modifications to the main PC all of which can be done in an easily reversible way.

Will not respond to a wake packet if the main PC is already on, or a shutdown packet if it's off.īuilt in time out between acting on one command and accepting the next (so basic packet storm protection)
WAKEONLAN SEND SHUTDOWN MAC
User configurable MAC addresses for the aboveĬan receive WOL packets over WiFi, when main PC is off, which almost all PC's cannot. Works via a web page, a WOL packet to a known address (seperate address for each function) or both. No additional software needed on the main PC though it should be configured to respond to pingsĬan power on, power off, reboot, and hard power off (think 4 second press of power button) the main PC Uses a Pi so the main PC can be completely hung and it will still work. My solution addresses many of your concerns. For example, to wake it up -Īnd it still won't work if the recipient is completely hung, needs physical access to shutdown or you look at the link I posted above? To support wake-up proxy, make sure you select Use wake-up packets only and Unicast. Remotely shutdown your computers Works on Macs No complicated set up required Wake up a sleeping / hibernating computer Schedule your computer to shutdown. In the Wake on LAN tab, and configure the options that you require for this site. Select the primary site to configure, and then choose Properties. That doesn't save having a server program running on the receiver but doesn't require any special client beyond what normally sends WoL packets. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Administration > Site Configuration > Sites. They can have passwords, time data, checksums and data embedded for extra safety. When your computer has to send a packet to an IPv4 address, it needs to know its MAC address. At the moment, you are sending the packet to the IPv4 address of the device. Different never used addresses could be used to indicate if a shutdown or re-boot were required. When sending a wakeonlan packet, you need to make sure the target device can receive the packet. Wed 2:56 pmI don't believe there's any 'magic packet' defined to shut things down or re-boot as there is for waking things up.īut if a system is able to receive WoL packets and one has a server program which can monitor those WoL packets it would be possible to implement a system such that 'when I am awake, if I see n WoL packets intended for me within t time period I will treat that as a shut down or reboot command'.Īdditional protection against a WoL flood attack causing an undesired shutdown or re-boot would be to require one or more WoL to particular never used MAC Addresses to be seen within some period of the WoL packets intended to shut things down.
