Remarks

When you are controlling the user-mode debugger from the kernel debugger and the system is in sleep mode, this command can be used to wake up the debugger before the sleep timer runs out.

This command is not issued in the user-mode debugger on the target machine, nor in the kernel debugger on the host machine. It must be issued from a third debugger (KD, CDB, or NTSD) running on the target machine.

This debugger can be started expressly for this purpose, or can be another debugger that happens to be running. However, if there is no other debugger already running, it is easier just to use CDB with the -wake command-line option.
