Powering a refrigerator/freezer with a generator

How long would your run it before you turn it off? Obviously it would depend on how often you are opening it up but in a scenario of long time power outage and limited gas/propane you'd want to cycle it on and off.

My thought process was to run it a couple of hours before we go to bed and 2 times during the day for a couple hours to keep the temps consistent. Have any of you been in this situation or given it any thought?
