Is there any way to run as a rake task without daemonizing?

[danhixon]

This may be an edge case but running this on heroku costs $40/month and I really don't need instantaneous delivery from my staging environment. I'd like to run it as a scheduled task instead. It'd just check for any unsent messages and send them then exit. Is that possible?

on heroku it seems tricky without the extra worker... maybe try a scheduler that runs something like bundle exec push staging -f (or whatever env)... i'm going to try this soon.

Yes, this would be a nice feature. Right now it is not possible.
