I'm wondering how I can set up an LTC miner to run either at certain times, or when the computer is idle and not in use.

I'm using minerd at the moment.

Thanks!

You can use the Windows task scheduler to start a task at a specific time or when the pc is idle.

If you want to have it run at certain times and not at others, a couple of cron jobs to start and stop your miner will do that. Setting a high nice value should also help keep it from killing your computer too badly while you're using it.
