--runonce will terminate WinACNotifications.exe when event hit, but raising required process
--blocking if specified, then on online/offline changes previous task (with whole process tree) will be killed, rather then spawning new and new processes

Download

Build yourself or use prebuild win x64 WinACNotifications.exe.

Use cases

Mining on laptop, of course!
When AC disconnects - it is right choise to stop mining from (not-extracted) battery.
Here is example usage:

WinACNotifications.exe --nosleep --blocking --onstart online --online "<path-to>\miner`.exe" --offlinetimeout 300

It does:

• starts
• prevents PC from sleep
• checks for AC, if online - starts miner
• on offline AC - waits for 5 minutes
• if AC is still offline - shuts down the miner
• when AC back online - starts miner immediately (becuase --onlinetimeout is not set)

Or you can use in any other kind of automation.
