These are my changes to Salik Rafiq's original script:
- Added args 3 and 4 to ping (bit of a hack)
- Replaced ethwake with wakeonlan
- Look up individual hardware addresses from files created with "arp -a
machine > machine.wol" for simplicity
- Save state of machine
- Directory is hardcoded to /usr/tools/wol for no particular reason
==============

#!/bin/bash

#this script is totally designed for the backuppc ping command
#which is the first thing it does before it starts a backup
#this is a substitute which pings the machine, if it is not
#awake then it wakes it using a magic packet - using the wol.bsh script
#then pings again to make sure

PING=/bin/ping
ARG1=$1
ARG2=$2
ARG3=$3
ARG4=$4
WAKEHOST=$5
ETHWAKE=/usr/bin/wakeonlan
SLEEPTIME=3m

logger "Backuppc pinging  $1 $2 $3 $4 $5"

function getwol {
        if [ -f /usr/tools/wol/$1.wol ]; then
           $hwaddr = $(cat /usr/tools/wol/$1.wol | cut -d" " -f4)
        else
           logger "No MAC address for $1"
           exit -1
        fi
}

function fwol {
        TO_WAKEUP=$1
        getwol $1
        sudo $ETHWAKE $hwaddr
}

$PING $ARG1 $ARG2 $ARG3 $ARG4 $WAKEHOST >>/dev/null 2>&1

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        fwol $WAKEHOST
        if [ "$WOL_RES" = "FAIL" ]; then
                exit 1
        fi
        echo "OFF" > /usr/tools/wol/$WAKEHOST.state
        sleep $SLEEPTIME
        $PING $ARG1 $ARG2 $WAKEHOST
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]
        then
           logger "success waking $WAKEHOST."
        else
           logger "unable to wake $WAKEHOST."
           exit 1
        fi
else
   $PING $ARG1 $ARG2 $ARG3 $ARG4 $WAKEHOST
   echo "ON" > /usr/tools/wol/$WAKEHOST.state
fi

exit 0

===========

This is the postusercmd.sh I use for every windows box:

#!/bin/bash
WINEXE=/usr/bin/winexe
UNAME="Username"
PWD="Password"
WRKGRP="WORKGROUP"
BOX=$1
PID=$($WINEXE -U $UNAME -W $WRKGRP --password=$PWD //$BOX 'cmd /c echo '1'
> c:\backuppc\wake.up')
echo "Rsync and shadow copy unloaded"
if [ -f /usr/tools/wol/$BOX.state ]; then
   read wasoff << /usr/tools/wol/$BOX.state
   if [ "$wasoff" -eq "OFF" ]; then
      $WINEXE -U $UNAME --password=$PWD //$BOX 'shutdown -f -s -c "Backup
Complete"'
   fi
fi

==============

The original is from http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=62 -- only the last
bit that reads the machine state and shuts it down cleanly has been added.
 (Works on XP and Windows 7.)
