I have been trying to get BackupPC server (on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS) to wol a client for a few days now. The only references I can find (in the mail-archive) is a Jan 2006 posting. This posting suggests that my wakeup.sh should look like:
wakeup.sh is:
#!/bin/bash
wakeonlan $1
sleep ${2}m
/usr/bin/nmblookup $3
This wakeup.sh has been placed in /etc/backuppc. The permissions are set to 640 (to match the other files in that directory0 with ownership set as backuppc:www-data.

I have changed my 'NmbLookupFindHost' string changed to:
/etc/backuppc/wakeup.sh [client-macaddress] [wait-time] $hostIP

I also changed (per the suggestion of posting related to this one) the 'PingPath' to /bin/echo .

I wish the archives were easier to search, but alas they are not.

Is there any posting a little more current available? And/or what have I done wrong?
