Does the tool support Wake On LAN?

We thought about providing a WoL based default for powering up servers because it seems to be widely supported and the concept is simple. However we ran into various problems getting it to work in my test environment. Some problems seem to be network related such as firewall issues etc. But more troubling is that we got inconsistent result when waking up a machine connecting to the same hub. We don’t feel comfortable releasing something that we can’t get working consistently. Thus we didn’t include a default WoL solution in the first release. However users can easily add WoL support by invoking their own WoL based program, scripts.
