Good to see my program being used Smiley

Any questions or (reasonable) suggestion for new functionality are welcome.

Essentially it's part of the XML config files for the Bitcoin Miners in Tray program.

Said program can restart mining w/ new arguments or pause mining in response to specific computer activities and then restart mining automatically upon completion. The key is finding which processes correspond to popular programs that require heavy GPU loads. Sometimes I can even get away with mining on one GPU while playing videos with madVR, so you could set up something like this:

Code:
   
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin Miner\cgminer
      cgminer.exe
      --text-only -o stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u user -p pass -v 1 -I 10 -w128
      normal
     
     

     
       
          GameOverlayUI
       

     

     
       
          madHcCtrl
       

       
          --text-only -o stratum.d7.lt:3333 -u user -p pass -v 1 -d 1 -I 8 -w128
       

     

   

The -d 1 option tells CGMiner to only use one particular video card, -I 8 tells it to lower the intensity from my max setting (I've found this to be the highest intensity that will not kick my fan on loud during movies).

It would be great if we could provide each other with watch scripts that can be used to modify mining intensity in response to popular programs.

For instance, if you are a madVR user:

Code:
     
       
          madHcCtrl
       

     


or a bf3/origin game player:

Code:
     
       
          GameOverlayUI
       

     


In essence, what processes correspond with common programs that require modifying mining intensity?
