I doubt you "need" to do that, perhaps you want to do that.
[Unless you were ordered to do that as school homework, in which case 
we should not do it for you?]

1
The nonsense of asking for "the best". There is only such in one's private 
opinion. Even the visual-appealing-ness of the source script could be part 
of such assessment.

2
You cannot write a script that starts to be executed on a certain time by 
the content of such script, as the script has to start before it knows what 
time it is. Script execution has to be started by some form of external 
action.

3
What do you really mean by a script that "stops"? A script is a peace of 
text used as a sourcecode for/by an interpreting engine. Do you mean "stops 
executing"?

4
Are you asking for a javascript script in a html-file in a browser?
That would be stretching it, because modern browsers will time out any 
javascript script long before, within minutes. If not in a browser, please 
state the platform.

Heb je ook een naam?
