wake-up-host.ps1

<#
.SYNOPSIS
	Wakes up a computer using Wake-on-LAN
.DESCRIPTION
	This PowerShell script sends a magic UDP packet to a computer to wake him up (requires the target computer to have Wake-on-LAN activated).
.PARAMETER macAddr
	Specifies the host's MAC address (e.g. 11:22:33:44:55:66)
.PARAMETER ipAddr
	Specifies the subnet address (e.g. 192.168.178.255)
.PARAMETER udpPort
	Specifies the UDP port (9 by default)
.PARAMETER numTimes
	Specifies # of times to send the packet (3 by default)
.EXAMPLE
	PS> ./wake-up-host.ps1 11:22:33:44:55:66 192.168.100.255
	✅ Sent magic packet 3 times to subnet 192.168.100.255, UDP port 9.
	   NOTE: wait a minute until the computer fully boots up.
