gowol0.1.1+git

gowol sends the request needed to wake a compatible computer or other device remotely. It makes that wake-up action available from the Linux computer or other system where the utility is installed, so a target can be brought online when it is needed. This is useful for workflows in which a machine stays powered down or inactive until someone needs to access it.

The program concentrates on this single system-management task and does not attempt to serve as a general device-management suite. Distributed as a snap, it provides a quick way to issue the remote wake request from a system running the utility. Its focused design suits people who need to activate a compatible device from another machine as part of routine administration or access workflows.

gowol is currently at version 0.1.1+git and runs on Linux systems with snapd on x86_64 (amd64) hardware. Luke publishes it as open-source software, allowing its source to be examined and used under the applicable open-source license. The target device must support the remote wake mechanism that gowol sends.
