Suggestion: implement WOL #86

Closed stephanGarland closed 3 years ago

stephanGarland commented 3 years ago

Is there any desire to have WOL logic for send? I have a separate node that I wake up daily to send snapshots to. It's cantankerous and doesn't always like to see its boot drive right away, so it takes a few cycles to actually boot. As such, I wrote a Python script that uses ipmipower to cycle power until the VM responds on port 22.

I could adapt it more generically (hopefully, most people's servers aren't that horrific) and make a PR.

Hi Stephan

Thanks for the suggestion. While such a script is certainly useful, it is out of the scope of pyznap. I'd like to keep it simple and focus on the zfs aspects (snapshot rotation & send), nothing else. As such wont add any WOL functionality to pyznap.
