sjmulder/netwake: Simple Wake-on-LAN utility for Windows – all the way up from 3.11, plus a CLI

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/09/02

Found this way after I fiddled doing this in PowerShell: [Wayback/Archive] sjmulder/netwake: Simple Wake-on-LAN utility for Windows – all the way up from 3.11, plus a CLI by [Wayback/Archive] sjmulder (Sijmen J. Mulder).

Unlike PowerShell, this works on a way broader range of Windows versions (:

(note that on Windows 3.11, you need to install Win32s first)

There are both CLI and GUI editions:

It’s cool to see such minimalistic C programs for a change. It reminds me of The Old New Thing by Raymond Chen.

At the time of writing there are four [Wayback/Archive] Releases · sjmulder/netwake all documented at [Wayback/Archive] netwake/CHANGELOG.md at master · sjmulder/netwake · GitHub.
