Turn on/off a computer

I was wondering if there is any commands that could allow you to turn on/off your computer via LAN/ ra-232 ports.

Thanks

You can use Wake On Lan (WOL) to turn a computer on via the Ethernet port. See

This works well - I have used it with several R/C setups.

Fair warning: this is not strictly a DemoPad question.

That tutorial suggests using UDP port 7 or 9. Tracing Sony's TV Sideview IOS/Android app shows that port 2304 is used when sending out magic packets. It's no big deal, but am I right in assuming that there needs to be a listner on a particular port to sense that packet, that the transport layer deals with WOL? If this is the case, would magic packets not require that they be sent to a particular port, listened to by the receiver?
