bobby over 10 yearsI asked this questions looking for suggestions from the Stackexchange community. I have seen a few tools online, I just wanted to see the community suggestions. My only doubt before asking was whether asking for suggestions is off topic in SuperUser

Lawrence over 10 yearsAccording to my interpretation of superuser.com/help/on-topic - IMHO it's a product recommendation

Lawrence over 2 years@haemse sounds like it's a great time for you to go and ask the question on the software recommendations stack exchange and create some new content for people who are looking for recommendations for Wake On Lan utilities for Windows

jpaugh over 2 years@haemse We're all struggling to understand the world together, and this answer happens to be useful, while falling short of the ideal. The key is to do better in the future. Don't intentionally break the community rules simply because it can sometimes be useful to do so, especially since there is now a better option: softwarerecs.stackexchange.com
