| Apr 19, 2017 at 23:06 | comment | added | CyberFonic | The device name for the socket.bind call is the device name on the machine sending the WoL packet, i.e. the RPi. The server is identified by the MAC. Please read the Wikipedia entry for WoL (see @mckenzm comments) to better understand what is going on. SO is not the place for detailed debugging assistance. | |

| Apr 12, 2017 at 18:51 | comment | added | Jono | Hi i tried running your script with my mac address and got this error: sudo ./turnOnServerCommand.py ./turnOnServerCommand.py: 4: ./turnOnServerCommand.py: Send a WoL packet to the specified MAC address NB: Won't work on OS/X. The AF_PACKET is specific to Linux. Needs to be run with sudo. : not found | |
| Apr 12, 2017 at 18:28 | comment | added | Jono | ok cool thanks. so if i save the below python script and save it inside the rasbperry pie. all i need to do is SSH into it and run the script? How do i run the script if the script is for example names turnOnServer.py | |
| Apr 11, 2017 at 4:46 | comment | added | CyberFonic | Just standard Raspbian. I prefer Debian based OS since I'm comfortable using APT. But you could use any OS that supports CPython and Unix style AF_PACKET. Check the Python docs for more details on socket module. | |
| Apr 9, 2017 at 13:42 | comment | added | Jono | which OS did u use? | |
| Apr 5, 2017 at 10:35 | comment | added | CyberFonic | I used a first gen. Model B. You need eNet - so the Zero wouldn't be suitable. | |
| Apr 5, 2017 at 8:42 | comment | added | Jono | I think i will go with this route and buy myself a raspberry pi. which one do you have as they have a standard version and a Zero version? | |
