The real reason behind having my file server run for several hours was because Deja Dup from time to time does a full backup from scratch again, which of course takes time. I set it up in cron for a test and sure enough, it woke up my file server from suspend mode.
It's owned by root:root but it's 755 perms, so even a regular user can execute it (after I ran chmod +x on it of course). Out of curiosity, I created a quick script and threw it in /usr/local/bin. I just found "wakeonlan" in the repos, which simply runs in terminal. I think I may have found a viable answer.

Do I have to install something on the target system first? Or should Wake On Lan just magically work?Īlso, what about laptops? Can a laptop send a WOL packet to wake up my file server since it's hard wired? Or do both systems in question need to be hard wired? I'm playing with gWakeOnLan right now for fun, but it's not kicking on my file server.

It'd probably be easier to just set up SSH keys with the boxes and be done with it, and just have the Windows side (some boxes dual boot) mount the shares via samba. Yeah, I love Deja Dup though, but I'm not sure it's optimal in this case. Anacron is an asynchronous cron tool (hence the name), which is a very handy thing to have on a desktop system, but not what you want in this case. I would imagine deja dup is just using anacron, which doesn't really allow you to do exact timings like this. There are command line tools that can send the magic packet (eg: etherwake), have your script send the wakeup, wait for a couple of minutes, check that the destination is up, then if it is commence an rsync backup. I would simply put it all in a script invoked by cron.

Not to mention, even if I wanted my router to handle it - oh wait - I can't seem to find a single mention of "wake" or "wol" in this 59 page manual for the router. so I'm not sure I could get Deja Dup to choreograph properly with the example I explained above. Deja Dup doesn't work based on a specific time. I should probably register them a DDNS hostname while it's on my mind.ĮDIT - Ya know, I'm just not sure. Either that or my parent's external IP changed. I'm trying to SSH into it now and it doesn't appear to be online. I set the system to fire up at 5:30 this evening via BIOS. I thought it was always from the router (which in my case, I'm not sure if it's supported) I assume WOL 5:45 PM and backup at 6:00 PM? How can you handle WOL like that? I wasn't aware other systems could do WOL. The only question I have about WOL is how would I handle the timing? If I have WOL and the backup set for 6:00 PM that of course wouldn't work because the system wouldn't be up yet.
no other drives, video cards, etc.ĮDIT - what if I just set up a cron job to run daily at a specified time for "sudo poweroff" and let the computer's BIOS handle the power-on in the evening? That way if I could have the BIOS kick it on at 6 pm and power off at midnight, that way the system is only running 6 hours a day, cutting its up time down significantly.Īt the same token, I still have to wonder, if this box is sitting idle most of the time, I wonder if it's even using a significant amount of energy worth worrying about. I'm playing with GShutDown now to see if there's a way I can have it shut down automatically 6 hours after it turns on. I can't lock it down to a specific day of the week. Thing is, I can only specify it by every day, or a specific day of the month. On top of that, the BIOS had specific times I can fire up the computer as well. Nonetheless, I'd still like to find a way to kick this guy on at a specific time. Nice simple way to ensure the gizmo turns back on if you don't have a UPS sitting around.
Sure enough, if the computer is on and I cut the power, then plug it back in, it turns right on. Stay off was the default, however there was an option for Power On. Yeah, I just went into the BIOS on this system and there's a section under Power listed as "Power After Failure" with a few options.

But there are options (usually in the BIOS) to wake-on-lan, wake-on-usb or wake-on-pci, meaning that if one of these components becomes active, the PC wakes up.
