General Discussion / Wake On Lan from GUI
« on: August 05, 2020, 01:01:39 pm »
Hi, this is my first post and first time using OPNsense, previously Pfsense.
I was wanting to wake other machines on my network everyday a a specific time.
I was able to add a wol service using cron from the GUI.
I'm not sure if its been covered before but I was so happy I was able to get it to work I thought I would post it here, mostly so I would remember how to do it. Sorry if it's been covered before.
The manual was helpful for this.
All I did was install the wol plugin.
Then edited the file "actions_wol.conf" in "/usr/local/opnsense/service/conf/actions.d"
I added "description:Wake on Lan" to the bottom of the file and saved it.
Then ran "service configd restart" and then it appeared in System:Settings:Cron in OPNsense GUI!
Woohoo Awesome, works like expected.
