This assumes you have brew installed and are comfortable using a terminal.
Following the guide on https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi will likely lead to errors about invalid paths to OpenSSL, and neoscrypt errors to the tune of Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64 during the build. I managed to piece together different fixes into an installation that has worked for me. So I hope it works for you.
Ensure a c compiler is installed. Type g++ in the terminal and continue with the xcode installation if necessary. If it prints clang: error: no input files, then you can proceed.

remove the two -Lyes/lib in the g++ command.

To stop mining just kill the process with ctrl+c, then start it up again when required.
To adjust your mining power, use the -t flag. -t is the number of CPU cores (threads) to use when mining. So ./cpuminer -a x16r -t 1 ... would just use 1 core (good for mining in the background). I believe by default it uses all available cores.
