Ok! I don’t believe this usecase is what autostop/start helps with.

So, to do this, the closest we’ve got is `fly m run --schedule <sched>`. Schedule doesn’t accept a time, though, it accepts “monthly”, “weekly”, “daily”, “hourly”. (for more info, [here’s a post about that](https://community.fly.io/t/new-feature-scheduled-machines/7398))

Unfortunately, I don’t believe we currently offer granular scheduling at this time. It’s either the loose “daily” scheduling, or keeping the machine running indefinitely and just running something like cron inside of it.
