Hi,

Is there a way to send a Magic Packet inside XBMC in order to make a Wake on Lan on a file server?

Should be a python script. Give it a search.
XBMC Suggestion: The WOL function could actually be integrated into XBMC Menu functions, among the other existing ones. If there is a SMB share, just select that row and make properties - "Send WOL to share".

(I've just placed that as a suggestion in the proper thread.)
Here is the Python script: http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wak...python.txt. Works perfectly.
