Boris,
Possibly not all that useful but FWIW I don't configure a wait time.
When I used my own WOL implementation we just relied on Guacamole
reconnecting if the target machine didn't respond within the timeout. I
never needed to explain this to any user, and there were no problems.
Unfortunately the implemenation of Guacamole 1.2 with integrated WOL
occurred for me around the same time as being locked up by Govt fiat. In
order to ensure as seamless an operation as possible we set almost all
machines to stay on, and as a result haven't much experience to pass on.
The handful we do have running with (integrated) WOL seem to operate
fine - without setting a wait time.
Just to complete the scene - in this instance all the machines are less
than 4yrs old and most have SSD's so boot time isn't especially slow,
this may differ in your instance. That said if I had slower machines to
contend with I'd probably _not_ implement wait time unless it proved to
be absolutely necessary.

Hello,
I try to wake up my computers over my LAN with the new functionality
"Wake-on-LAN (WoL)".
It works like clockwork except for the parameter "Host boot wait
time".
If the remote computer is off, and I put 30 seconds in the
parameter "Host
boot wait time", the user who tries to access the remote computer is
rejected after 15 seconds (always 15 seconds). Because the
computer doesn't
have time to start in 15 seconds.
Are you seeing the same problem?
Thanks !
Sounds like there could be a bug in the WoL functionality where it
doesn't properly stop the 15 second connection timer from timing out
while it is waiting. I thought I had tested this, but looks like I
may have missed something, unless other folks are not seeing it.
From previous discussions on the feature it seems like most people are
not using the wait time parameter and are just relying on the 15
second timer and automatic re-connect so connect when it fails because
the system isn't responding.
