WOL & Shutdown

Hi,

I am looking wake up and shutdown /reboot Pro via HTTP. not HTTPs

I am able to schedule a wake up currently via WOL addon via a automated control, I would like to know if its possible to send shutdown.
I don't need NAS online all the time only when i'm home. So when I leave I can send NAS to sleep and wakeup when i'm home.

Is this possible ??? Or is there a alternative TCP port etc...

Thanks

  • I worked out a way to do this works for me as I dont care about security. I only wanted to shutdown or wake up when I need nas on (at home).
    Wake works fine with WOL.

    I have posted here about ncat

    viewtopic.php?f=7&t=64472&p=361699#p361699

    changed the ncat command to ncat -l -p 1717 --keep-open --sh-exec "shutdown -r now" &

    I can now schedule a socket open in my automation system to turn off my nas when I leave the house!
