I have the following rule in my s extension so I can see who's calling
when watching something on MythTV:

exten => s,n,System(/usr/local/bin/mythtvosd --template=cid --caller_name="${CALLERID(name)}" --caller_number="${CALLERID(num)}" --caller_date="${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%x)})" --caller_time="${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%X)})")

Replacing the /usr/local/bin/mythtvosd command with the wakeonlan
command and creating an extension for this could be another option,
e.g.:

exten => 1234,1,System(/usr/bin/wakeonlan <options>)
exten => 1234,n,Hangup()

Cheers,
