Now, run sudo nano /etc/network/interfacesĪnd add this line to the end of the file: post-down /usr/bin/wakewol Save the file and run sudo chmod 755 wakewol to make it executable. Now, set up the machine to allow it: sudo nano /usr/bin/wakewolĪdd these lines to the file you just created: #!/bin/bash If the output of ethtool contains a line like Supports Wake-on: g, you should be fine.
