I want to run jobs in between build events

[myke]

Looking for ideas.......

I have build events which do not have a fixed time between events

I have downstream jobs running tests after each build.

Thereafter my environment is doing nothing until the next build event (could be multiple days)

I want my test environment to make use of the quiet periods

Following the downstream test job I would like to run another job. 

It would be great if this new job could be terminated in some way so as not to interfere with the next build job when it happens

I have looked at plugin's but cant find a good fit.

I would appreciate any ideas out there please

You can schedule your build with `H` for minute and hour. This will run a job in a quiet period. Some examples are in contextual help in job configuration.

Not sure how would you automatically kill a job though... But I wouldn't do that automatically. It's easy to do it manually from build queue and I wouldn't kill a long running job when it's nearing the end of execution.

Point of information for clarity: the 'H' in crontab hash syntax [0]
is conceptually different than SCM 'Quiet Periods' [1].
