WAKEBAY(8) BSD System Manager’s Manual WAKEBAY(8)
NAME
wakebay — will wake up Apple PowerBook Mediabay devices
SYNOPSIS
wakebay [/dev/<device>]
DESCRIPTION
wakebay is a program, which is useful only for Apple Macintosh Powerbooks. On invocation, it will wake up the specified Mediabay device that was powered down by sleep. Waking up the device involves sending an IOCTL to the device to force it to check for a media change, thus revalidating the device info. Newer kernels do this internally so wakebay should only be needed on old kernel versions.
