I'd like to use the wake on lan command so that my server turns on when I boot my HTPC with XBMC. Problem is: I have put wake on lan in autostart, but the server does not turn on. However if I open eventghost and execute this command manually, the server does boot as expected.
I don't get this. The autostart generally works, as XBMC is started as stated in the autostart. And the wake on lan command also works - when I execute it manually. But why is the wake on lan not working within the autostart? I have already put it in two times now, but still no success. This is how my autsotart looks like, does anyone have an idea?
Well it now does work with a delay of 5 seconds between starting xbmc and the wake on lan. Could only think of the possibility that first some processes have to be finished loading before a wake on lan command can be executed. Still a logical explanation from the developers would be of interest, or a best practice that always works.
You can do a search on the internet for mc-wol.exe it is dos base, you can create a batch file and either run it from windows startup or from eventghost. http://www.matcode.com/wol.htm. see batch file below my batch file.
