Simple macOS watchdog script that kills processes that consume a lot of energy.
When working mobile your MacBook should run as long as possible. However, sometimes tasks in the background drain the battery significantly. Often this is only recognized when a low energy warning pops up. This simple script runs in the background as an agent and kills selected processes, in case they are consuming too much of the CPU (e.g. > 80%) within a small time frame (e.g. 1 minute).
You should modify the header of the file ws.willner.energywatchdog.sh as needed before installing the agent. The make commands:
$ make
Nothing really to make, but there are some available commands:
* run : run application to test it
* install : install application as an agent
* remove : remove agent
* feedback : create a GitHub issue
* style : style bash scripts
* harden : harden bash scripts
The output when running the script manually. Here Messages.app gets killed.
