Scheduled Wake On Lan

Petěrko · Apr 21, 2021, 6:29 AM

Hallo all!

OS: Debian 10. Fresh install.
FOG: 1.5.9. (tried dev branch 1.5.9.65 too).

I can not make Scheduled WOL work. Wake on Lan via Power Management option “Perform Immediately” is working perfectly. Tried group/host tasks, tried power management, Wake-up task…

File /opt/fog/log/fogscheduler.log shows:

For Power Management Cron task:

[04-21-21 1:04:12 pm]  * 1 task found.
[04-21-21 1:04:12 pm]  * Task run time: Wed, 21 Apr 2021 13:04:00 +0200
[04-21-21 1:04:12 pm]  * Found a wake on lan task that should run.
[04-21-21 1:04:12 pm]  | Task sent to XXXXX

For Wake-up Task:

[04-21-21 1:06:12 pm]  * 1 task found.
[04-21-21 1:06:12 pm]  * Task run time: Wed, 21 Apr 2021 13:06:00 +0200
[04-21-21 1:06:12 pm]  * Found a task that should run.
[04-21-21 1:06:12 pm]            - Is a host based task.
[04-21-21 1:06:12 pm]            - Unicast task found!
[04-21-21 1:06:12 pm]            - Host XXXXX
[04-21-21 1:06:12 pm]            - Tasks started for host XXXXX!

But it never shows:

[01-18-20 10:35:05 pm]  * Sending 1 wake on lan request.
[01-18-20 10:35:05 pm]  * 1 total mac attempting to wake up.

Any idea why FOG is not waking computers up when scheduled?

Thanks!
Peter

Hi again,

today I tried CentOS 7 + FOG dev-branch. Later upgraded to working-1.6 branch. Still no success.

Should fogscheduler.log report this when waking PCs from scheduled task?

[01-18-20 10:35:05 pm]  * Sending 1 wake on lan request.
[01-18-20 10:35:05 pm]  * 1 total mac attempting to wake up.

It is not showing in my log…
Is the process/code for WOL Perform Immediately and cron-style same or different?

May the problem be network related? Subnets? VLANs?
Or KVM related? I run OSes as Virtual Machines on Proxmox.
WOL Perform Immediately is working fine.

Thank you for any help!
Peter

@petěrko Can you please post a picture of your settings in the FOG web UI?

Is the process/code for WOL Perform Immediately and cron-style same or different?

Yes, “Perform Immediately” is directly triggered when submitting the form while cron-style is fired by the scheduler.

WOL Perform Immediately is working fine.

Don’t think it’s a network issue then.

Petěrko · Apr 22, 2021, 9:54 AM

@sebastian-roth Thanks for reply, Sebastian!

I am not sure what settings would you like to see. Fog Settings? I can upload globalSettings table, if it helps…

When I export settings I get this for Power Task:

INSERT INTO `scheduledTasks` VALUES (1,'Wake-Up Task','','S',14,'','','','','','',1,0,'','','-1','fog','1','',1619075220,'0');

This is log for Scheduled Power WOL Task:

[04-22-21 10:19:02 am]  * 1 task found.
[04-22-21 10:19:02 am]  * Task run time: Thu, 22 Apr 2021 10:58:00 +0200
[04-22-21 10:20:02 am]  * 1 task found.
[04-22-21 10:20:02 am]  * Task run time: Thu, 22 Apr 2021 10:20:00 +0200
[04-22-21 10:20:02 am]  * Found a wake on lan task that should run.
[04-22-21 10:20:02 am]  | Task sent to test-mmu
[04-22-21 10:21:02 am]  * 1 task found.
[04-22-21 10:21:02 am]  * Task run time: Thu, 22 Apr 2021 11:20:00 +0200

SQL for Scheduled Wake-Up Task looks bit better but still doesn’t work:

INSERT INTO `scheduledTasks` VALUES (2,'Wake-Up Task','','C',14,'44','*','*','*','*','',1,0,'','','-1','fog','1','',0,'1');

Found one more table:

INSERT INTO `powerManagement` VALUES (3,1,'20','*','*','*','*','wol','0'),(2,1,'','','','','','shutdown','1');

@petěrko I’m having the same problem with the latest dev branches. It was working fine before I updated. See:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15279/daily-wake-up-routine-not-working-after-update/
Any way to merge topics?
After a fresh look these seem like separate issues. Sorry for the interruption.

Sebastian Roth · Apr 27, 2021, 5:40 AM

@Petěrko I have not found the time to dive into this yet.

I am wondering if it’s along the lines of what @altitudehack posted in the other topic. @Tom-Elliott has worked on the code and maybe knows more about it already?!

Petěrko · Apr 27, 2021, 7:00 AM

@sebastian-roth Hi, today I found time to install Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 on Bare Metal and KVM (Proxmox). With HTTPS enabled and disabled. Master and DEV-branch. It looks like https problem but I will test it once more to be sure.

Scheduled WOL is working on:
1.5.9 on Ubuntu (KVM/Baremetal) with https DISABLED

Scheduled WOL is not working on:
1.5.9 on Ubuntu with https ENABLED
19.5.75 on Ubuntu with https ENABLED

I will continue on that in @altitudehack 's topic.

Peter

Petěrko · Apr 27, 2021, 2:02 PM

@sebastian-roth
I can confirm now. Https setting during install is the culprit.

Debian10 VM 1.5.9
http - instant WOL OK, scheduled WOL - working
https - instant WOL OK, scheduled WOL - not working

What about this (from other_vhosts_access.log)?

x.x.x.x:443 x.x.x.x - - [27/Apr/2021:10:30:11 -0400] "GET //fog/management/index.php?node=client&sub=wakeEmUp HTTP/1.1" 200 9111 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0"

Double leading forward slashes (//fog/…).
A typo? Or is it correct? Just a guess

Source: web/lib/fog/fogbase.class.php

$url = '%s://%s/fog/management/index.php?';
$url .= 'node=client&sub=wakeEmUp';

@petěrko The 200 code tells us that the response was successful.

The sprintf call defines httpproto. So while there may be a typo, this is unlikely the thing causing the issue you’re seeing.

Petěrko · Apr 28, 2021, 7:29 AM

@tom-elliott Thanks for reply and your great work, Tom.
I am looking into it again with more detail.

HTTP Cron WOL
port 80, POST, status 200
HTTP Cron WOL working

x.x.x.x:80 x.x.x.x - - [28/Apr/2021:02:51:07 -0400] "POST /fog/management/index.php?node=client&sub=wakeEmUp HTTP/1.1" 200 5068 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0"

HTTPS instant WOL
port 443, POST, status 200
HTTPS Instant WOL working

x.x.x.x:443 x.x.x.x - - [28/Apr/2021:03:17:13 -0400] "POST /fog/management/index.php?node=client&sub=wakeEmUp HTTP/1.1" 200 9111 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0"

HTTPS Cron WOL
port 80, POST, status 302
and
port 443 GET,status 200
HTTPS Cron WOL not working

x.x.x.x:80 x.x.x.x - - [28/Apr/2021:03:23:20 -0400] "POST /fog/management/index.php?node=client&sub=wakeEmUp HTTP/1.1" 302 580 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0"
x.x.x.x:443 x.x.x.x - - [28/Apr/2021:03:23:20 -0400] "GET //fog/management/index.php?node=client&sub=wakeEmUp HTTP/1.1" 200 9111 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux x86_64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0"

Is POST with status 302 on port 80 ok? It may be redirection to https, I guess.

I think GET for HTTPS is wrong. It gives 200 but I think server doesnt have enough info what to wake up.

Or am I wrong?

Petěrko · Apr 28, 2021, 9:13 AM

Update: Same on 1.5.9.77
Peter

Tom Elliott · Apr 28, 2021, 10:37 AM

@petěrko Well a redirect from 80 to 443 via 302 will take the post request and send it as get (meaning the mac address it’s intending to receive is missing)

I can attempt to iterate through beginning with https

Tom Elliott · Apr 29, 2021, 6:30 AM

@petěrko I altered the code to run through:

https:// AND http:// (in order)
so that wakeOnLAN should run regardless of which protocol you send (and more directly in the case you have a 302 redirect from http to https.

Please give it a try and let me know if it works.

Thank you,

@petěrko said in Scheduled Wake On Lan:

Great work! Thanks heaps for testing in detail and posting here.

As Tom said, it happens to be redirected to HTTPS (443) when sending a POST to HTTP (80). There is a good explanation on why this happens on stack exchange: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/99894/why-doesnt-http-have-post-redirect

Thank you again! Now our school can wake-up on Schedule
