Jim,

That's the thing about freeware. Not a lot of documentation. Just the standard
command line /? help.

C:\>wolcmd /?
Wake On Lan Command Line...

Usage: wolcmd [mac address] [ipaddress] [subnet mask] [port number]

i.e. wolcmd 009027a322fc 195.188.159.20 255.255.255.0 8900

Looks like you call it from the command prompt, so it's scriptable. So just
write you a .cmd file, with one instruction, per above.
