WKSL - a wake and sleep utility

An experiment in writing a small CLI utility in Rust. The program lets you wake a machine on your local network up from sleep, and put it back down to sleep again, all from the command line.

Installation

This assumes you have a recent version of rust installed, if not, go to rustup.rs and follow instructions.

Clone this repo somewhere

 $ git clone https://github.com/hravnx/wksl.git

Navigate into the resulting wksl folder and run

 $ cargo install --path .

This should build and install the wksl executable into the Cargo bin folder, which is normally in $HOME/.cargo/bin - you should make sure this is in your path.

Confirm the installation worked by running

$ wksl help

This should print some help information.

Configuration

The program depends on a small TOML file for configuration. It looks for $HOME/.config/wksl/config.toml by default, but this can be overridden on the command line by giving the -c or --config-path argument, like so:

$ wksl --config-path ./my/path/to/wksl.toml <... rest of your args here ...> 

Look at the example file in the root of the repo for details.
