wakey is a TUI built for managing and waking your devices using Wake-on-LAN.
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is an Ethernet or Token Ring computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or awakened by a network message.
The computer is woken up by sending a “magic packet” that contains the MAC address of the target computer. The magic packet is sent on the broadcast address of the network, and the target computer will turn on if the MAC address matches.
This is free and open source software.
