heroku dynos, scheduler
### Tell us about what you're trying to solve. What challenges are you facing?
We semi-frequently have issues with people forgetting to manually add/delete jobs in the heroku scheduler. On top of this, fiddling with these jobs manually though a webpage means we don't have any history of what things were scheduled nor when.
It would be way nicer if in the Procfile I could defined a schedule for jobs.
For example
```
refresh_purchase_suggestions: psql $DATABASE_URL -c "REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW product_purchase_data"
```
+ manually fiddling in the scheduler
would become
```
30 1 * * * psql $DATABASE_URL -c "REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW product_purchase_data"
```
That way, all the drawbacks mentioned in the top would be fixed, and schedule changes could be checked in pull requests, and viewed in the git log.
