I’d really love to see, that the client can send Wake on Lan Magicpacket to its host before connecting. Currently I’m solving this via powershell

```auto
 $MAC = "F4:EE:08:XX:XX:XX"
 $IP = "192.168.200.57"
 $PORT = 22
 

 wsl wakeonlan $MAC
 do {
  Write-Host "waiting..."
  sleep 3      
} until(Test-NetConnection $IP -Port $PORT | ? { $_.TcpTestSucceeded } )

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\ThinLinc Client\tlclient.exe" -ArgumentList '-u dudek', '-p SomeSecuredPassword', $IP, '-f fullscreen'

```
