Stop Bot After *X* Hours

[Cannibud 2]

Pretty self explanatory with the title, but to elaborate a little more;

I find myself wanting the option to automate the stopping of my bots after a certain amount of time, almost everyday.

So I was thinking, since we already have a decently advanced break system, I can't imagine it would be much harder to add another option in that menu to Stop Bot After: X-Amount of time/hours

 

This would help with being able to bot for a few hours (to avoid a ban) while I'm at work for 8-12 hours, instead of having to make the bot run for that full 8 or so hours, we could set the option to shut the bots down after only 3 or 4 hours, I fully think this could help very much (at least in my case, and probably many others) with avoid bans due to botting absurd amounts of hours daily.

 

I would absolutely love for this feature to be added, tell me what you guys think!

You can do this using breaks. Add a break to happen every 3 or 4 hours, and have the break last 50000 minutes. I like the idea though. I'll definitely be implementing this into my scripts.

As century said, you can add in a break that starts after however many hours, and lasts for 999999 minutes. Gives you plenty of time to go on and check it to stop it.

You can also do it with cmd

Linux - to close the client after 24 hours or 86400 seconds:

timeout 86400 java -jar ~/DreamBot/BotData/client.jar

 

Mac - you have to install coreutils first:

brew install coreutils

then you can run, same thing as the above linux example:

gtimeout 86400 java -jar ~/DreamBot/BotData/client.jar

 

Windows - it is extremely complicated and I don't have the time or care to bother with it.

Yeah, I'm aware I could set the break to Break for 999999 minutes after 4 hours but then I wouldn't have my Legit-Style breaks (very short breaks, very periodically) so it kind of defeats the purpose for me in looking sort of legit with those breaks.

And also yeah, I have been using the cmd command to shut it down myself, but I just feel like it would be so easy to be implemented into the actual bot, so we wouldn't have to do it the dirty way lol.

You can have multiple breaks. I have one running every 2 hours that lasts 45 minutes as well as a 19 hour break every 5 hours.

All of my scripts I make have custom breaking and stop after X time, even stop after X level reached or goal reached. Would be cool as a feature for the client though.
