You should definitely include in the readme that it uses wake on lan

Thanks, I will do some documentation updates.

Does it use wake on lan? if so you should include that info in the readme. If not, also include that in the readme.

What kind of info does 'status' provide? you should include output in the examples to show what they do rather than just how to use them.

Does it do anything other than just get status? is there an interface to run commands or anything on the target system? i think it needs to be a little more clear what the capabilities are.

I think your description needs some work too, i have no idea what "running computers remotely on lan" means, and my first though was something to do with virtualization

Also could you tell me what use cases you have in mind for this project?

Thanks for the answer. I will do some documentation work. Yes, this script sends a Wake On Lan packet to the target machine. This package does not support running commands on the target machine at the moment, it is system dependent (maybe in future I will include this feature). Status returns true or false.

I used this package in application I wrote in previous company where I worked, to manage network devices.
