0 [we programmers, like babies, start at zero]
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*?

You don't post with your real name either.  Pot calling the kettle black.

And omit the attribution novel next time, please.

I am not 'calling'.

Don't pretend to know Dutch, obviously you don't.

I asked a question.  The proper response to that is not a question.

„The pot calling the kettle black“ is an English idiom for hypocrisy: 
criticizing something that others do but that you do yourself.  See also 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_pot_calling_the_kettle_black>.

“Evertjan.”, the only non-address part of the From header field of your 
postings is _not_ your real name.  It cannot be.  Your real name might be 
“Jan Evert”, but you are _not_ posting under that name.

Why you would claim the opposite as response to my statement above, which 
has nothing to do with your name, remains a mystery.

You yourself responded with a Q on a Q!

And why should a response be "proper"?

Methinks you are still demonized by childhood indoctrination?

Go and play somewhere else.

There is a subtle difference: The question was not posed to me, and my 
response was a rhetorical question.
 
> And why should a response be "proper"?

You can fool someone else.
 
> Methinks you are still demonized by childhood indoctrination?

You must be projecting.

Yes, please do that.

Assuming that you want this in a browser...

You can use a timer to start a script (i.e. execute a function) on 09:00.

But once the code is executed, it'll always run as fast as possible. It
can't be slowed down so that when it finishes, it would be on 17:40. This
applies to all programming languages in any platform. So, I'm pretty sure
this isn't what you meant.

Perhaps you want a code that's run periodically (e.g. every one second)
starting from 09:00 and until 17:40. If this is what you meant, then have
the function that's periodically executed to check the current time. If it's
17:40 or later, stop the timer. One thing that's important is that the
function must always return as soon as possible. Otherwise, the browser
would lag.

That will depend on where you plan to have the JavaScript executing. In a browser? On a server (ASP, Node, other)? On a Window's machine through WSH? Somewhere else?
