Wake On LAN Ex supports various command-line parameters and arguments; they are split into sections below. New commands to access the features of Wake On LAN Ex will be gradually added in each new version.

A parameter can be passed to Wake On LAN Ex by prefixing the parameter with a - dash or / slash character. A list of parameters separated by a comma denotes that any of the items in that list can be used; they're simply aliases and perform the same action.

For example, both of the following will do exactly the same thing.

WoLEX.exe -hidesplash
WoLEX.exe -nosplash

A future update will provide command-line options for all available features.

Wake On LAN Ex: General

  • noeggs, disableeggs, eggytrumps, rickgrimesisegg

    • Disables access to any of the secret "easter eggs" within Wake On LAN Ex.

    This may be of use in business environments as one of the hidden easter eggs displays a new window with an interface that may not be considered appropriate for a work environment due to its "artistic" use of colour.
