Is there a way to specify the exact time for maps to run? I'm a little confused by the Trigger->Interval settings. I want my map to execute every 15 minutes, at the top of the hour and every quarter hour after that. The way I read the manual, I can only specify a delay to start a certain amount of time AFTER the system is started instead of based on the clock?

For example, I'm not sure how to specify that the map should run every 15 minutes starting at 9:00 without starting the system at exactly 9?

Probably the easiest way I could see doing it is create your map with an input card that looks for a trigger file. This file would be put out by a cron job every 15 minutes. The event server sees the file, runs the map and the map deletes the file.
