I think there is no such directive, though I barely remember that once I created such a beast (but that may have been in our Windows toolset). I'd suggest to check the doc if there is a directive that sounds like if could disable an action for a given period. With filters, you could probably create a big if where you check the hour part of the time and execute the action only for hours "09", "10", ..., "20" (using 24hr clock).
