Wake On Lan

Hi guys, I can't set up Wake On Lan after rebooting my PC, I want to learn how to set it up via netctl, it works via cron, I don't want to try via systemd, since it's very easy to set up. Please help me

by the path to find the profile:

/etc/netctl/wol.profile

In this profile I have the following data indicated:

Description='Wake on LAN Configuration'

Interface=enp37s0

Connection=ethernet

IP=dhcp

ExecUpPost='/usr/bin/ethtool -s enp37s0 wol g'

ExecDownPre='/usr/bin/ethtool -s enp37s0 wol d'

When running the command sudo systemctl status netctl@wol.service

Dec 10 23:55:25 IlyaSPC systemd[1]: Starting Wake-on-LAN profile...

Dec 10 23:55:25 IlyaSPC network[4742]: Profile 'wol' does not exist or is not readable

Dec 10 23:55:25 IlyaSPC systemd[1]: netctl@wol.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

Dec 10 23:55:25 IlyaSPC systemd[1]: netctl@wol.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Dec 10 23:55:25 IlyaSPC systemd[1]: Failed to start Wake-on-LAN profile

Re: Wake On Lan

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

netctl list

and then see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Netctl … _a_profile
The name of "wol.profile" is not "wol" but "wol.profile" - probably just remove the suffix
