Other than using specific times in the scheduler, not really.
I got around this in the past by
- calculating the average runtime of the user journey (12 minutes in this
example)
- include all contents of the thread group inside a loop controller, this is
the only direct child of the threadgroup
- have a set up thread group and beanshell script
- that script calculates the run length by dividing a property that can be
passed on the command line (eg. -Jrunlenth) by the average runtime
- pass this value back to a property (eg. prop.put("runloops" ,
(props.get("runlength")*60)/12))
- the loop controller uses the runloops property
However if you are not bothered about terminating a thread part way through
just use a scheduling tool such as "at" to kill the process.
I use a customised jmeter start up script that is used to start jmeter, write
the new pid out to file and stop jmeter using the pid file.
There is quite a lot of jmeter limitations that can be done using shell
scripting, including multiple jmeter-server instances and masters running on a
single box for multiple script concurrent execution. Might be worth a look at
writing something yourself.

Subject: Test Duration
Hi. Is there a way to define the duration a test should run via the command
line?
Is there a JMeter property available? Then it could be set using the -J command
line option
-J[prop_name]=[value]
defines a local JMeter property.
Sorry if this was asked before.
Thanks
Stuart
