Wake on lan difference between basic tasks and power management ?

[Florent]

Hi,
I have problem with Wake on lan in Power Management.
If i launch Wake on lan from Host or Group / Basic tasks / advanced / wake-up it’s work fine.
But if i use on Power Management to schedule, it’s not work.
Power Management work for Reboot.
Any ideas ?

Regards

Hi @sebastian-roth
FOG 1.5.9 on Debian 10

@Florent For me it seems to work with power management. Scheduled a task and checked with tcpdump it actually sends the magic packets (WOL).

Can you please check /var/log/fog/fogscheduler.log to see what it says. In my test case I see this:

[03-03-21 4:35:27 pm]  * Sending 1 wake on lan request.
[03-03-21 4:35:27 pm]  * 1 total mac attempting to wake up.
[03-03-21 4:35:27 pm]  * 1 task found.
[03-03-21 4:35:27 pm]  * Task run time: Wed, 03 Mar 2021 16:35:00 +0000
[03-03-21 4:35:27 pm]  * Found a wake on lan task that should run.

@florent
Sorry i found the problem, i think it’s bad value on the mysql table.
I go to the powerManagement table and see line like this with “-” :
0 8 - * wol 0
I have deleted this line and restart FOGScheduler, after it’s ok

[03-04-21 5:08:23 pm]  * Found a wake on lan task that should run.
[03-04-21 5:08:23 pm]  | Task sent to XXX

It’s resolved for me
