I want to schedule a apex classes through apex code and need to have a cron expression with a fix startdate & enddate.
It needs to be also possible to set the startdate & enddate like below:

-Start: 30.10.2014

-End: 6.02.2015

-Time: 00:00

-Daily

Using Crone expression it is not possible. However, as a workaround, in your Scheduler you can check date every time before execution. If you find date then remove Scheduled job from Queue.

You can check this documentation to query CronTrigger - http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_scheduler.htm

Also, you can check this URL which will help you to make Cron expressions- http://www.cronmaker.com/

[SalesForce] How to set the Start and End Date in the cron expression

You are allowed to set the day of the month, month and year in the cron expression, this combined with the "-" (hyphen) character you can specify a range of your start date and end date.

An example would be the following which will run from 7-July-2013 to 15-July-2013 everyday at 1 AM

0 0 1 7-15 7 2013

[SalesForce] Apex cron job command to schedule an apex job to run every 4 hours daily

If you use the following chron string for your scheduled job, it will run every 4 hours (at set times) Monday through Friday.

apexScheduledJob j = new apexScheduledJob ();
String sch = '0 0 0,4,8,12,16,20 ? * MON-FRI';
System.schedule('My Job', sch, j);

If you wanted it to run every day, you would just change it to

String sch = '0 0 0,4,8,12,16,20 ? * *';
