    Use clearInterval()

    In your script:

    var pid=false;
function clear()
{
   clearInterval(pid);
   pid=false;
}
function resume()
{
   if(!pid)
     pid=setInterval('window.location.reload()', 60000); 
}

    In the body

    <body onload="pid=setInterval('window.location.reload()', 60000);">....
<button onclick="clear()">Pause</button>
<button onclick="resume()">Resume</button>....
