I'm trying to wake on lan, but I get ethtool: command not found error

Question

It's driving me crazy... I've been googling for an hour now and nothing!

I'm trying to invoke this script:

#!/bin/bash
ethtool -s eth0 wol g
exit

I run it as root: /etc/init.d/wakeonlanconfig

And it gives: /etc/init.d/wakeonlanconfig: line 2: ethtool: command not found

Any ideas what is going on?

The shell environment's path variable doesn't have the directory where ethtool is located. So either add it to your path, or better, just prefix "ethtool" with its full path: /foo/bar/ethtool
