Hi all!
I know this is a very stupid question for a programmer but I am not able to find a solution.
I have a program: etherwake.
It is used to wake on lan a PC using its mac address.
I simply want to "feed" etherwake with a mac address contained in a text file.
I've tried
cat filename | etherwake
etherwake < `cat filename`
without any kind of luck...
I always get:
Specify the Ethernet address as 00:11:22:33:44:55
Of course if I do a cimple cat filename I get a perfect mac address, without blank spaces or any kind of strange characters.
What am I doing wrong?
