Idle a single game.

[TeamWin]

I was wondering if I was able to idle just CSGO for as long as I want ( not for cards but for hours ). if not then has anyone changed some of the source to be bale to do such a thing?

From the FAQ

Can Idle Master be used to pad my playtime of a particular game?

The steam-idle.exe application that's included with Idle Master can be given a command line argument of the appid of the game you'd like to idle. For example, if you'd like to idle Team Fortress 2 for playtime, you can simply run "steam-idle.exe 440" from a command prompt. There is no user interface for this, it must be done through the command line.

Is there a command line on the steam idle application or do i need to run the game itself because i dont really want to do that because i would not be able to leave my pc on overnight ( too loud )

Idle Master does not have its own interpreter, you will need to use Windows's command prompt. You do not need to run CS:GO, you do not even need to have the game installed.

You will need to keep Idle Master, and by extension your computer, running during the idling process. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to pad your playtime without keeping a computer running. If your computer is to loud then your options are either getting quieter fans or getting an off-site computer to run the necessary programs.

You need to input the full path to Idle Master. The command will be something along the lines of "c:\Program Files (x86)\Idle Master\steam-idle.exe" 730

I don't use the windows version so I'm not certain on the exact directory. And if you're using the Portable version, it will likely be completely different.

Have you found a way to force-idle games on Linux/OS X?

./steam-idle.py 730

execute that from the Idle Master directory and it should work.
