In setup... On the same page as:

Automatically run mythfilldatabase
This enables the automatic execution of mythfilldatabase.

and

mythfilldatabase Run Frequency (Days)
The number of days between mythfilldatabase runs.

It's called:

mythfilldatabase Execution Start
This setting and the following one define a time period when the 
mythfilldatabase process is allowed to run.  For example, setting Start 
to 11 and End to 13 would mean that the process would only run between 
11 AM and 1 PM.

and

mythfilldatabase Execution End
This setting and the preceding one define a time period when the 
mythfilldatabase process is allowed to run.  For example, setting Start 
to 11 and End to 13 would mean that the process would only run between 
11 AM and 1 PM.
