Script that automatically starts mining cryptocurrency when you go AFK

automine.sh

# Set time in milliseconds to wait before turning on miner.
# Change the "5" to a value to set in minutes.

# Example 1: 1 minute
# IDLE_TIME=$((1*60*1000))

# Example 2: 500 milliseconds
# IDLE_TIME=$((500)) or IDLE_TIME=500

IDLE_TIME=$((5*60*1000))

# Change <MINER EXECUTABLE> to the name of your miner's binary.
# Example: ethdcrminer64

pid=$(pidof <MINER EXECUTABLE>)

# Set this to the path to your script, or miner executable.
# Example 1:
# script="/home/user/mine.sh"
# Example 2:
# script="/home/user/ethdcrminer64"
script="/path/to/script.sh"

# Needs to be set for xprintidle to work correctly

# Get time since last user interaction with computer
idle=$(xprintidle)

# Print current time (for logging purposes)
t=$(date)
