Force Run a Scheduled Transaction

[Rafferty Uy]

Yeah, not sure how to do it properly yet... what I did before was to change
my system date to a previous date, schedule the transaction to today's real
date, then set my system date back to today's date.

It would be nice to add a "force run" feature...
