[request feature] wake up on lan

Would it be possible to implement a feature like WOL (sendind UDP packet ) so we do not have to start the terminalserver manually? I think there would be many cases where this feature would be helpful.

Wake up terminal SERVER?

Yes exactly.
In my case (and I assume in many others too) the terminalserver is only on during work hours. Id would be pretty nice to have a feature so that my WTware could wake up my terminalserver.
At the moment I have to go into the basement every morning and turn the terminalserver on (unlock rack enclosure, boot up).

I found a command which I can use to turn on my terminalserver
"echo -e $(echo $(printf 'f%.0s' {1..12}; printf "$(echo macadress | sed 's/://g')%.0s" {1..16}) | sed -e 's/../\\x&/g') | nc -w1 -u -b 192.168.178.99 4000"
Where can I place the script with this command so that WTware starts it while booting?

There are neither sed no nc in wtware. We'll think about your task. I'll write here when we implement something to test.

1. Download, install, boot this build:
http://wtware.com/testing/201905191839.zip
2. Download:
http://wtware.com/files/wol.zip
Unpack, change mac in 'runme' file (file name without extension!) and pack to zip again. Put to /configs/ folder on terminal boot disk. May use terminal web interface to upload file on terminal disk.
3. In terminal config write:
extra=wol.zip
4. Reboot. On boot, terminal unpack wol.zip and run 'ether-wake' to wake your server.

Is there any way to point that wol.zip to specific terminals (PXE boot without hdd in thinclient) ?
I want to start the vm for each thinclient, when thinclient boots.
When i put the zip in folder Everyone, it works without issues, but just for one mac addr..
Thanks !

Generate multiple .zip files with different names, one for each vm. Put them all into Everyone. In terminal config in extra= option specify name of .zip that wakes vm needed for this terminal.

Thank you, sounds good, i will try that.
On multiconnection config, is it possible to call a script when login into sessions?
When a VM is offline, I want to start it from the multiconnection panel in wtware.
