wake on lan on Ubuntu 16.04 (KDE Neon)

hello
I've been seting up wolsleep/wolwake on my machines and so far so good it's working fine now.
I'm using Kde Neon 16.04 xenial (Ubuntu 16.04) and I faced some problems
1/I had to switch from SysV to systemd scripts to get correct daemons autostart at boot ...
2/using the default wolsleep script gave me a lot of problems
"echo mem > /sys/power/state"
effectively put the system to sleep but then wolwake leaves the machine in an unusable state ..
it seems to be specific to Ubuntu.I found a lot of discussions of people having problems with suspend/hibernate with ubuntu 16.04.
on the machines I have this :
>more /sys/power/state : freeze standby mem disk
>more /sys/power/mem_sleep : s2idle shallow [deep]
I tried several combinations like sending "freeze" or "disk" to /sys/power/state but non worked .. the machine just doesn't wake up :(
so finally I just replaced wolsleep with a brute force "/sbin/shutdown" command.

I don't understand that much of the power state business so if someone got this to work on a 16.04 system please let me know...

I have another question about wol :
on RoyalRender if you wake up a lot of machines it "delays" each wol by a few seconds :
from RR docs : "The Server has a delay between auto-WOL of Clients. Waking up all clients at the same time can be a problem with the power supply architecture"
I've heard that it could hurt the power supply of the machines or something like that.
does afanasy takes care of that ?
I have 50 machines that can wol at the same time.

Hi.
There is no wol delay in Afanasy for now.
For now, you can enable wol service just on one machine, and write a custom command for wol.
Command can do wol, than sleep for 5 seconds.
This way you just 1 machine per 5 seconds should wake.

There is a af_wolwake_interval configurable option in a new CGRU versions:

Code: Select all

"af_wolwake_interval":10,
		"":"Number of cycles (seconds) between waking each render",
