How to setup Heroku Scheduler without Rails?

Question

Reading the documentation here, https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/scheduler, I see how to schedule tasks with rails. But I was wondering how to schedule tasks with regular ruby?

What do I have to put in the task field to have my ruby script run?

Answer 1

You should be able to add a Rakefile to your regular ruby app, and run rake task_name via the scheduler.
