Using Scheduler, how to ensure file is only run by Heroku server?

I want to run a php file with Heroku Scheduler. What are some methods to ensure that not just anyone can come along and execute the file? Is there a way to put stuff above the web root ('www' with a php app)?

The easiest way to accomplish this is to use a .htaccess file in your project's root directory to ensure that these files are not accessible through Apache. Scheduler will still be able to execute them.

<Directory /app/www/DIRECTORY_NAME>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from All
</Directory>

With DIRECTORY_NAME being the name you've put these PHP files in.
