I'm attempting to remotely wake a slave machine when the master boots up through a bash script using the etherwake command to send magic packets. Both OSs are Debian 8. The full code is written below:/etc/init.d/etherwake#!/bin/sh#/etc/init.d/etherwake### BEGIN INIT INFO# Provides: etherwake# Required-Start: $all# Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs $network $syslog# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5# Default-Stop: 0 1 6# Short-Description: Start etherwake at boot time# Description: Enable service provided by etherwake.### END INIT INFOETHERWAKE=/usr/sbin/etherwakecase $1 in        start)                echo  Booting slaves through etherwake...                $ETHERWAKE <MAC Address>                echo  Finished booting all slaves.                ;;        stop)                echo Stop not implemented. Doing nothing                ;;        restart|force-reload)                $0 stop                sleep 10                $0 start                ;;        *)                echo Usage: /etc/init.d/etherwake {start}                exit 1                ;;esacexit 0After writing the script, I did:chmod 755 /etc/init.d/etherwakeupdate-rc.d etherwake defaultsReboot the system through shutdown -r nowI've also tried using /etc/rc.local in 3 different ways:/etc/rc.local#!/bin/sh -e## rc.local/etc/init.d/etherwakeetherwake <MAC Address>/usr/sbin/etherwake <MAC Address>exit 0No luck whatsoever. When I run either /etc/rc.local or /etc/init.d/etherwake manually as root, everything works nicely. I thought it could be something with the permissions but as far as I read any script on /etc/init.d runs as root by default. What am I doing wrong?Thanks in advance.Edit:I understand Debian 8 uses systemd instead of sysvinit. After setting everything upsystemctl -l status etherwake.service gives me: etherwake.service - Etherwake magic packet service   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/etherwake.service; enabled)   Active: inactive (dead) since Fri 2016-09-30 16:30:56 BRT; 1min 33s ago  Process: 824 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/etherwake start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 824 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)Sep 30 16:30:56 hostname etherwake[824]: Booting slaves through etherwake...Sep 30 16:30:56 hostname etherwake[824]: Finished booting all slaves.And /etc/systemd/system/etherwake.service is:[Unit]Description=Etherwake magic packet serviceWants=network-online.targetAfter=syslog.service network.target network-online.target[Service]ExecStart=/etc/init.d/etherwake start[Install]WantedBy=default.targetAnother thing I noticed is that running systemctl restart etherwake works as a charm.
Startup script on Debian 8 (Jessie) with etherwake won't work
shell script;debian;startup;wake on lan
