XWOL 1.0

Wednesday 27 September 2006, by Jean-Baptiste Le Stang

XWOL is a free osax for Mac OS X (10.4 and better) allowing you to wake a computer on your local Ethernet network if it is supporting the magic network packets to wake a computer.

To wake a sleeping computer you must first retrieve its mac address and then execute the following script :

set macAddress to  "00:11:24:70:f7:56"
wake on lan macAddress

Happy Scripting & Awaking !

    Does this OSAX still work under Leopard (10.5.5) ?

    I used the exact syntax above and I get can’t make some data into expected type error.

    Thanks,
