Log:
The -i <host-ip> option in the wakeonlan executable is only useful
on networks with static ARP tables available. For networks using 
dynamic ARP tables (common with most switches), a broadcast address
instead of a host IP should be given here. The wakeonlan default
(255.255.255.255) is just fine for most network setups. So we omit
the -i <host-ip> option completely when calling wakeonlan in the
wakeupclients script.
