Stop PRPNet when on battery

[Happy5214]

Is there any way to have the PRPNet client automatically pause the worker (e.g. LLR) when the computer is unplugged, and resume when plugged in again? I'm trying to set up some laptops at home to run the client with LLR, but I don't want to have to kill and restart the client every time I unplug my personal laptop (which is generally at least once daily). For LLR at least, it should be as simple as adding a line to llr.ini.

PRPNet does not support such a feature.

Prime95 has such a feature.

And your point being???

PRPNet uses llr or pfgw to do the dirty work.

The point being, the code exists, and if someone that uses or develops pfgw or llr cares enough, it could probably be added there too. There was a lot of code reuse among mfaktc, mfakto, cudapm1, etc (mostly around parsing worktodo or command line options, worktodo.add). The source code to almost all of prime95 is available and could be read for ideas of how to do it, even if one decides against actual copying of portions for license terms or whatever reason.

You would have to ask Jean Penne about llr. As for pfgw, I would have to take a look, but I make no promises.

See the emphasis in the quote of my original post. LLR does already have the code to stop while on battery power. But PRPNet doesn't seem to have the option to write the needed setting (RunOnBattery=0) to llr.ini.

It seems to me that should be the default. The change needs to be made to LLRProgram.cpp in the PRPNet source.
