WOL not working RC11
-
@Tom-Elliott @george1421 @Wayne-Workman
Updated to RC16 today. WOL as Wake Up task still not working. Either individually or group.
What does work.
WOL via Deploy Task
WOL via Hardware Inventory Task
WOL via Group Deploy Task
WOL via Group Multicast
WOL via Group Hardware Inventory TaskSuggestions?

@UWPVIOLATOR The very same utility that “does” work is the same utility that is in use for the WOL specific tasking. The only difference is WOL Tasks perform the action immediately rather than create a separate tasking in the task page.
I will see if I can see what’s different between them though.
-
@Tom-Elliott Are we trapping the call to the wol command someplace in a log to see if its being called differently?
-
@george1421 No, but it’s not being called separately.
The problem, as I just found it, appears to be it’s not taking into account the WOL specific task. This was an oversight in that
$type === 14
is not the same as$type == 14
. I’m going to repub for which this should address the problem. -
Please redownload and install again. This was such a minor thing to correct for that it doesn’t really deserve it’s own “branch” update.
-
Thank you. We will update on Monday and report back our findings.
-
@UWPVIOLATOR Is it safe, now, to solve this? I think it is solved, although it is also going a little slower with the 700ms delay now.
-
Sure.

Can i just ask what exactly do i need to change to fix this. I upgraded from 1.2 to 1.4.4. Now i have the same problem. Wol for single host works. Wol for groups doesn’t. What i found out is that if the group has low number of hosts of no more than 6 then it works even for the groups. But if there is more it doesn’t. Then some compuers wake up and some don’t.
Server: CentOS

@Dark000 1.4.4 includes the aforementioned fixes already.
Please create a new thread detailing this problem.
