Python script which runs XMRig when your PC is idle

Idle Mining XMR

Python script which runs XMRig when your system idle and stops it when it's not.

No Windows version available and I do not have plans to make one as this can be achieved using Task Scheduler.

Requirements

• Python

• X11 (Unless xprintidle works on Wayland somehow)

• XMRig

• xprintidle

Setup

• Create a configuration file for XMRig. (Wizard)

• Download the script (clone the repo or direct download)

Usage

Note that time is provided in seconds.

./IdleMiningXMR.py <idle time> <check delay> </path/to/config.json>

Idle time: The amount of time the system must be idle before running XMRig.

Check delay: The delay between checks of the system's idle time.

Path to config: A full or relative path to your XMRig configuration.

Example:

Run XMRig when the system has been idle for 5 minutes (300 seconds). Check how long the system has been idle every minute (60 seconds).

./IdleMiningXMR.py 300 60 /path/to/config.json
