Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Wake-on-LAN utilities for node.js

Installation

npm install wake_on_lan --save  # use the library
npm install wake_on_lan -g      # optional global wake utility 

Synopsis

To wake a machine with a given mac address do:

var wol = require('wake_on_lan');

wol.wake('20:DE:20:DE:20:DE');

wol.wake('20:DE:20:DE:20:DE', function(error) {
  if (error) {
    // handle error
  } else {
    // done sending packets
  }
});

var magic_packet = wol.createMagicPacket('20:DE:20:DE:20:DE');

See windows notes and the wake utility.

Reference

MAC addresses are strings and may use any separator or no separator at all:

'20:DE:20:DE:20:DE'
'20-DE-20-DE-20-DE'
'20DE20DE20DE'

Function wake()

wake(mac, [options, callback])

Send a sequence of Wake-on-LAN magic packets to the given MAC address. The callback is called when all packets have been sent or an error occurs. The options object may have the following properties:

| Property | Description | Type | Default | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | address | The destination address | String | 255.255.255.255 | | num_packets | The number of packets to send | Number | 3 | | interval | The interval between packets in milliseconds | Number | 100 | | port | The destination port to send to | Number | 9 |

Function createMagicPacket()

createMagicPacket(mac)

Returns a buffer with a magic packet for the given MAC address.

The wake utility

wake [options] MAC

Options

| Option | Short | Description | Default | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | --address | -a | Broadcast address, ipv4 or ipv6 | 255.255.255.255 | | --num_packets | -n | Number of packets to send | 3 | | --interval | -i | Interval between each packet | 100 | | --port | -p | UDP port of the target destination | 9 | | --help | -h | Show help ||

Examples

wake 20:DE:20:DE:20:DE
wake -a 192.168.1.255 20-DE-20-DE-20-DE
wake --num_packets 10 --interval 50 -p 9 20DE20DE20DE

Windows Notes

Because windows routes global broadcasts differently from unix systems, it is necessary to specify a broadcast address manually, e.g:

wol.wake(someMac, { address: "192.168.2.255" }, wakeCallback);

Use os.networkInterfaces() to calculate the broadcast address dynamically. See @mwittig's comment for further information.
