if i created a cron expression to fire every hour i understand I can set it to start at a certain time is there a way to set it to end after say 5 hour

so you could set it to run and do something every hour starting at say 5pm run every hour and stop at 10PM

i was recomended to use this as i dont know hoe to make cron expressions

http://www.cronmaker.com/ (SIMPLE CRONS no end time)

seems alot more complex but better config options
