I don't think it's possible with the autorun script, but you could do it
by hacking code, or possibly even better, set up two cron jobs, one which sends
a SIGSTOP (kill -STOP <pid>) at the time you want the MUD to stop, and then
anotherone which sends a SIGCONT (kill -CONT <pid>) to the mud when it is to
continue.
The problems with this method are that the MUD remains in the process table
and consumes a certain amount of swap during the week, and that any users
online when it is frozen would lock up.
Of course, you could also set up similar cron jobs to kill and restart the MUD
at given times, too. It wouldn't "sleep" then, tho.
