Is it poss for a LIVE version to send a WOL command to the server so that I don't have to go to programs and activate the WOL program?
Yes. I'm lazy lol.

There sure is, I have my boxes configured to send a WOL to my server both when my xbmc boots up and when it wakes from sleep.... I posted a walkthrough for configuring it to wake from sleep, let me see if i can find it...
edit: here it is:

To configure so wakeonlan works at bootup, add the following line to your /etc/rc.local file (make sure to install wakeonlan as shown in the other thread):
Code:
/usr/bin/wakeonlan 00:e0:4d:c4:d2:29(just substitute your server's MAC)

I don't fully understand how to install wakeonlan - the beginning part of the thread you linked.
Any advice?

can anyone help?
heres my rc.local:
heres my sudo get wakeonlan
i only want to WOL when i switch the player on, not from standby/sleep.
i have installed Wake on Lan on the programs menu on XBMC and that works fine but rather than wait for the player to boot up and get in then load the program and wait another few mins to get the server to boot this would be easier!
when will the WOL command be sent once i get it working?
cheers

doesnt look like the wakeonlan package is installed.
Try this:
Then do:
other than that, it looks like you have the correct line in your rc.local file (you dont need the second wakeonlan line you have in there however).
With that setup, your xbmc box will only wake up the server when you are booting up.
Try this:
Code:
sudo apt-get updateThen do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install wakeonlanother than that, it looks like you have the correct line in your rc.local file (you dont need the second wakeonlan line you have in there however).
