Buffalo LinkStation Mini (illustration only)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some years ago I purchased a Buffalo LinkStation Mini, a small NAS device for backup purposes. This device works quite well but until today, I didn’t have access to the builtin Wake-on-LAN feature from Linux.<\/p>\n

Under Windows, the NAS boots as soon as the PC side software issues a special start request. After a little internet search, I found the necessary information and a small bash script to achieve this under Linux. I have adapted the wakeup script a bit and added a feature to disable the wakeup request via a second script. A third script queries the status of the NAS, both on the network and the state of the local wakeup script.<\/p>\n

The wakeup script is intended to be run from the user’s Autostart sequence. The helpers can be called when needed.<\/p>\n

Some icons are included.<\/p>\n

The script needs bash,. zenity, notify-send and wakeonlan. The latter is a Ubuntu package and should be available in your distro as well.<\/p>\n

The MIT License applies to this software. It works for my Buffalo LinkStation Mini, maybe for others too \u00a0but I cannot guarantee this. You are on your own but, hey, the software is free for modification \":)\"<\/p>\n
