Zwalisoft WOL Magic Packet Sender

For a while I’ve been using this free app to remotely start up my computers at home.  I set up a new server and wanted to migrate all the settings for this program to save reentering all the data.  It took me a while but I eventually found the profile.wol file that contained the user entered data.

On both my systems it was located in the C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\IsolatedStorage\StrongName.mtsk42papas0d4jmsd0oj30s2qisdzu1\AssemFiles

2. Using the up/down arrows, navigate to the bottom of the sudoers file that is now displayed in the terminal
3. Just under the line that looks like the following:

1. Add the following (replacing user with your actual username):
