-mp-form.pl - Send magic packets with your web server
-
-This is my trial of waking up PCs with a form via web server.
-The perl script reads in a text file which contains lines of the form
-aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff 12.34.56.78 or
-aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff foo.bar.com
-aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
-optional a broadcast address mask can be prefixed:
-192.168.1.255-aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
-
-The script is based on wake.pl by Ken Yap who is also the author of the Etherboot package.
-The script uses CGI.pm to parse form input and Socket.pm to send the magic packets, both
-modules should belong to your perl distribution. The script runs with linux as well as
-with NT, with NetWare you have to use the Socket.NLP from recent Perl build #334, with
-Perl build #333 and earlier I got an error from the Socket.pm. You should also update
-your Perl to minimum #331 from CPAN: http://www.cpan.org/ports/index.html#netware.
-This script uses only broadcast so you don't need root rights to use it.
-
-To install the script copy it to your ../cgi-bin directory. Then for Linux do a chmod 755
-to the script. Modify the lines which point to the location of the maclist. If you do not
-have a maclist, the form could save new entries to a list (with unix perhaps you have to
-create an empty file). Check also the first line of mp-form.pl and modify it to point to
-your perl5 location. For NetWare copy the script to /novonyx/suitespot/docs/perlroot.
-
-Older version: If you have problems running the script with CGI.pm you could try the older
-version mp-form1.pl which uses cgi-lib.pl to parse form input. You can get cgi-lib.pl
-from http://cgi-lib.berkeley.edu/. With NetWare you should also use mp-form1.pl as using
-CGI.pm consumes much memory. The older version is also included in the zip archive.
-
-A modified version of the original script is now also included which runs with older
-Getopt::Std.pm as shipped with NetWare. This script you could use from command line
-or from cron. With NetWare copy the script to /perl/scripts; then call from console with:
-perl wakeup.pl <parameters>.
