Theres not all that much to it, you just run an daemon like normal, use 'createminingaccount' once to create an account and 'setgenerate' to turn mining on/off.

createminingaccount "name"
Create an account, the currently active seed will be used to create the account.

Arguments:
1. "name"       (string) Specify the label for the account.


setgenerate generate ( gen_proc_limit )
Set 'generate' true or false to turn generation on or off.
Generation is limited to 'gen_proc_limit' processors, -1 is unlimited.
See the getgenerate call for the current setting.

1. generate         (boolean, required) Set to true to turn on generation, off to turn off.
2. gen_proc_limit   (numeric, optional) Set the processor limit for when generation is on. Can be -1 for unlimited.
3. gen_memory_limit (string, optional) How much system memory to use, specify a letter G/M/K/B to determine size e.g. 524288K (Kilobytes), 512M (Megabytes), 3G (Gigabytes), defaults to bytes if no specifier given . Empty for automatic selection.
