Yes - httrack will always either quickly rescans the mirror
from the begining (--continue) or update it (--update), but
you can not start exactly from the last point.
A solution is to create after these 2 hours an empty file
called "hts-stop.lock" which will force the engine to
finish pending transfers and wait until the file is being
erased (a file, hts-paused.lock, is created once httrack
has finished pending transfers). The next day you can erase
the file and the mirror will continue.
Example: updated between 20:00 and 22:00
while true; do
# wait until 20 o'clock
while test `date +%H` -lt 20; do sleep 60; done
# let httrack continue if necessary
test -f hts-paused.lock && echo "httrack was paused, let's
continue" && rm -f hts-paused.lock
# wait until 22 o'clock
while test `date +%H` -lt 22; do sleep 60; done
# pause httrack
>hts-stop.lock
done
