• By default, the script checks CPU/GPU usage every minute. If it falls below both thresholds of 10% CPU and GPU usage for over 30min, a notification will be sent. Currently there is no functionality to easily configure these parameters, but they can be edited manually in config.json.

• You may check the status of the idle_notifier with the following command:

  systemctl status idle_notifier
