I have a PC which acts as a server for Windows File History running on all the Windows machines on my LAN (i.e., the clients all target a share on the server for storing their backups).

Rather than have the server run 24/7, I'd like to have it wake up on demand (I'm using File History's default every hour timetable).

I also have a Raspberry Pi running on the network as a DNS server. It also currently uses xinetd to watch for certain UDP packets to wake up a SageTV media server.

Is there a way to configure xinetd to watch for, say, destination unreachable packets related to a sleeping File History server?

You have to check in your bios if your nic support wake-on-lan packet, if so activate it then you will be able to wake your pc remotely with any soft that can send wakeonlan packet. WakeMeOnLan from NirSoft do that great for instance.
