wake_on_lan (string mac_address) ⇒ boolean
Attempts to send a magic packet (Wake On LAN packet) to a system using it's MAC address.
First available: Version 1.7.13
Notes
The magic packet and wake on LAN implementation in a number of computers is flakey at best. Sometimes it works, other times it does not. This works best with systems designed to use this rather than systems that just include it.
