Hi Chris,

Would it be possible to include Wake-on-LAN (WoL) in the BDP?  It would be a really nice feature to have.  Maybe on startup of the BDP could send a magic packet to wake up my NAS.

thanks

you could likely add this feature using the startup script

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
apt-get install etherwake
etherwake <mac address of the device you want to wake up>

Thanks Chris,

It works!

Although you need a -y option on the apt-get.  So the command looks like this:

apt-get -y install etherwake
etherwake  00:11:32:1A:XX:XX

The fly in the ointment is that it takes 55 seconds to install etherwake.  That's too long for me. 

I know you effectively get this question a lot, but I'll ask it anyway.  Is there a way to have it so that I don't have to install etherwake with every boot up?

regards

Your right, my bad.  The filesystem runs in a live environment like a Ubuntu live cd.  If you wanted to get creative you could download the individual dpkg files that make up etherwake to the user space (/mnt/img/) and install them from there, rather then download the package each time.

Hi Chris,

Thinking about it we could just do unpack etherwake and WoL if the NAS is asleep.  So that means we have something like this in the startup:

#!/bin/bash
if ! (ping -c1 10.0.1.201)
then
   apt-get -y install etherwake
  etherwake   00:11:32:1A:53:D9
fi

I would have liked to have ( with the output redirected to the null device):

#!/bin/bash
if ! (ping -c1 10.0.1.201 &> /dev/null )
then
   apt-get -y install etherwake
  etherwake   00:11:32:1A:53:D9
fi

but there's a bug in the save for your Startup-Script window and it doesn't save.

As always thanks for all your help.

Ron
