Ravi, For the "Saturday at 12pm" case, Cron scheduling would be the path forward. There is a slight difference as this scheduler is based off of Quartz and there is some documentation located in our User Guide [1] if you are unfamiliar.
With regards to force starting a process, could you provide some additional details on what you are looking to accomplish and/or specific processors you were looking to use? Inherently, every processor is driven by the FlowController in terms of being allocated a thread for execution when it is scheduled to run.
