Simple Wake-on-lan

[Matt]

Hello,

The wake-on-lan code I am using.

Code:

--[[ Librairy : Wake-on-lan
Author : Matthieu Bouthors

Use with mac address
example : WOL("4c-cc-6a-03-55-eb")

Reminder : only works if the destination is on the same subnet, not routable
]]--

function WOL(target)

 local socket = require("socket")
 local dest_ip="255.255.255.255"
 local port=9
 local udp = assert(socket.udp())
 udp:setoption('broadcast', true)
 
 clean_target = string.gsub(target,":","")
 clean_target = string.gsub(clean_target,"-","")

 hex_target = lmcore.hextostr(clean_target)

 payload = lmcore.hextostr("FFFFFFFFFFFF")
 for i=1,16 do
   payload = payload .. hex_target
 end
 
 assert(udp:sendto(payload, dest_ip, port))

end
