It would be good if it was configurable.   I don't mind leaving and instance running 8 hours for example, so I pay the price once for the project for the day.  Also we will want a way to query the status of the instance that is running and kill it.  If the instance is periodically checking that its local.conf still exists when it is idle, it can shut itself down if the build directory has been removed.   Obviously these things are all in the "nice to have" camp.

Cheers,
Jason.
