Well, your development on this is way over my head but, I sure do like your wakeup script.

In my case, I worked on this last January or so and forgot where I left off. I am embarrassed to say that I cannot find my notes from then and so I do not know want other related commands (within BackupPC) that I may have changed. I am sitting here scratching my head, deciding how to proceed.

I have worked on this issue in the past for myself. Never really got it

weekend to work on this.
I've had it working for a year or so with the following setup:

In the file /etc/sudoers add the following lines:

Cmnd_Alias WOL     = /usr/bin/wakeonlan,/usr/sbin/etherwake
backuppc  ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:WOL

And change the pingcmd for the hosts to the following line:

$Conf{PingCmd} = '/usr/local/bin/wakeup.sh $host';

I've also attached a slightly edited version of the script I use to fire
off the WoL packets.
