It is SO easy to run a none 24/7 server.

First make a folder called anything as long as you know what it means
Second get craftbukkit here
Put the craftbukkit-1.2.5-R4.0.jar file in the folder
(***IMPORTANT STEP***) RENAME THE craftbukkit-1.2.5-R4.0.jar FILE TO JUST: craftbukkit
Make a text document (don't name it yet) and put THIS code in it
@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
PAUSE
then save it, call it whatever you want but you HAVE to put .bat after it
examples: run.bat runserver.bat Run Server.bat Start Server.bat
The run the .bat file after you've saved it IN THE FOLDER OF THE CRAFTBUKKIT.JAR FILE.

NOW COMES THE HARDER PART (port forwarding)
If you already know your IP address skip to step 4
1. open command prompt (click run and type "cmd")
2. type "ipconfig"
3. copy the Ipv4 address
(*NOTE, if you have windows XP it will be called IP address: (ip address here)
4. put your IP address in your web browser (google chrome, I explorer, etc)
5. look this part up on youtube, because depending on your internet hoster it can vary. This is how you do it with COX internet provider, and a LINKSYS internet router.
AFTER PUTTING YOUR IP IN THE ADDRESS BAR OF YOUR WEB BROWSER
IT WILL ASK FOR YOUR NAME AND PASSWORD they should both be admin unless you have changed it which i can't help you with.
6. Once you've logged on click "applications and gaming" fill out the form, (MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ENABLED)
7. once you've done that go to whatismyip.com and get the IP

(done with port forwarding)
1. copy the IP address from whatismyip.com
2. run the .bat folder you made earlier
3. wait for it to load
4. put the IP you got from whatismyip.com into the minecraft server thing and then your done
