How to get a list of available `heroku run` commands?

Question

There are several native Linux commands not available using heroku run, for example heroku run less filename and heroku run apropos. How do I get a list of all available heroku run commands?

Btw I'm just trying to look into some dirs and files from my application but for some reason I can't view them with the available commands. I tried cd my_project/my_application && ls but it just shows the ls of my_project for some reason.

Answer 1

You can get command list doing a ls in /bin Heroku folder. Follow this steps:

• Login into Heroku via bash: heroku run bash
• List bin commands: ls /bin

Remember than you are in a cloned instance. All changes you do in filesystem will be dropped exiting shell.

Answer 2

You can bash into a dyno using heroku run bash and run this command:

echo -n $PATH | xargs -d : -I {} find {} -maxdepth 1 -executable -type f -printf '%P\n' | sort -u
