configure crond.
Sections
There is only one section type wol-target defined for the
configuration. Multiple wake on lan targets may
exist in the file.
Wake on LAN targets
A wol-target section defines the parameters the wol utility is started with.
The init script will start one instance of wol for each sectionof
this type.
Below is a listing of the parameters defined for this section.

Example
Example entry to wake a host with the MAC address 00:06:29:4f:e4:b6 in the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet:
config wol-targetoption mac 00:06:29:4f:e4:b6option |
Notes
If wol does not work, the etherwake package can be used instead. To wake a
host on boot, and put the following command into /etc/rc.local:
etherwake 00:0f:3d:ce:ef:ee |
This would wake the host with the MAC address 00:0f:3d:ce:ef:ee.
