Wake on Lan via Workflow?

[mesetluk]

Hi there,

 

i wondered if it is possible to send a wake on lan trigger via workflow to my NAS..

 

so far i`ve tried this, but didn`t worked..

 

 

tell application "WakeOnLan"

    wakeup "192.168.178.xx"

end tell

 

(found in a forum - i`m not really into apple script ;-)

 

also found this one (does phyton work in Alfred?):

 

#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket
s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1)
s.sendto('\xff'*6+'\x11\x22\x33\x44\x55\x66'*16, ('192.168.0.255', 9))

 

 

what i try to achieve:

 

1. Wake up NAS

2. Wait 20 sec (till NAS is awake)

3. Mount Volume "ITunes"

4. Launch iTunes (Music is on NAS) 

 

Thanks for your help!!!

 

best regards

The apple script needs the app WakeOnLan (had problems with it). The python script however works. 

I use it my self in a workflow. It will start the machine with the MAC-adress 11:22:33:44:55:66 on the specified subnet.
