Restart my heroku application automatically

Question

This terminal command restarts my heroku application:

heroku restart

Is there a way to run a script that will run this command and restart

Answer 1

I solved this with a very simple curl command script within the repo that is triggered using the free Heroku scheduler.

#!/bin/sh curl -X DELETE "https://api.heroku.com/apps/${HEROKU_APP_NAME}/dynos" \ --user "${HEROKU_CLI_USER}:${HEROKU_CLI_TOKEN}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Accept: application/vnd.heroku+json; version=3"
