Hi all. I'm thinking about a system that boots with a wol packet. Who sends this packet in 99% of cases, is far away from that computer and it could be useful to boot into a different system instead of the default one. (please keep in mind that changing the default option in grub is not a option for this specific use case)
If a wol can be delivered successfully, an UDP packet containing simple datas should be enough to achieve this. Something like this: - MAC: the destination device mac address - choice: a number (can be empty) - commandLine: a full commandline (a choice or this..) - more? I don't know for now.. This option should be enabled in the grub.conf by the user. What do you think about? Could this be useful? Am I missing something, like a tool that does this automagically? I've read about an eth-to-serial but it's not what I want. PXE or bootp is not an option here. I don't want to manage another server... Thanks for your time. Daniele.
