Set it to run in the middle of the night -- say 1:00 a.m. Block out the 1:00 a.m. for all days. That doesn't mean it will stop when 2:00 a.m. comes. It will complete the cycle.

How much consecutive time should I give for this process? What are your settings (out of curiosity)? At the present (some of it will change), I have all 7 days looking the same, and each day has four hours total, given to this process. There are two two-hour blocks. The first taking place from 12:01 AM till 1:59 AM. The second taking place from 11:01 AM till 12:59 PM. If I only allocate one hour, and the process starts but does not finish, will it actually stop until the next selected block of time? I am led to think so.
