# wakeonlan This plugin provides a wrapper around the "wakeonlan" tool available from most distributions' package repositories, or from [the following website](https://github.com/jpoliv/wakeonlan). To use it, add `wakeonlan` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: ```zsh plugins=(... wakeonlan) ``` ## Usage In order to use this wrapper, create the `~/.wakeonlan` directory, and place in that directory one file for each device you would like to be able to wake. Give the file a name that describes the device, such as its hostname. Each file should contain a line with the mac address of the target device and the network broadcast address. For instance, there might be a file ~/.wakeonlan/leto with the following contents: ``` 00:11:22:33:44:55:66 192.168.0.255 ``` To wake that device, use the following command: ```console $ wake leto ``` The available device names will be autocompleted, so: ```console $ wake <tab> ``` ...will suggest "leto", along with any other configuration files that were placed in the ~/.wakeonlan directory. For more information regarding the configuration file format, check the wakeonlan man page.
