Bitcoin Mining Automation

[deathcode]

I have a small mining rig at home (two 7970s and one 5750) @ 1450Mhash/s
My goal is to find a way to tweak cgminer in such a way that I can schedule it's mining capabilities around my work hours since the server is too loud while mining at those hash rates.
I wanted to continue mining but at lower hashing rates so I can decrease the fan RPM and keep it within reasonable noise levels during work.
Anyone doing something like that?
I tried using the Windows Task Scheduler and create batch files for the different configurations, the problem is that first, I don't know how to kill the cgminer process since there's no way to actually having the task scheduler to hit the Q letter while the promp window is active and then trigger the "work hours" batch file to mine at quietter speeds...
Any ideas are appreciated and I apologize if this has bene discussed. I couldn't find anything like it.

you could run 2 instances of cgminer with
--sched-start <arg> Set a time of day in HH:MM to start mining (a once off without a stop time)
--sched-stop <arg>  Set a time of day in HH:MM to stop mining (will quit without a start time)
each its own preferred settings

btw - the readme is awesome

You could probably also accomplish this with something like autohotkey. It can select the proper window (cgminer) and send "q" for quit.

Akbash also seems to support mining during certain periods, using cgminer. I haven't used this particular feature myself. You would setup akbash to run 24/7, and it would control the cgminer instance during the times you specify.

Or, you could use what was suggested above.
