Frequency of worker dyno run on Heroku

I have created one worker dyno in Heroku app that is supposed to execute cakephp command on its run. See Procfile code below:-

worker: app/Console/cake opportunity

What is the default frequency of this worker dyno execution? I have checked heroku logs that shows the above worker process executed at some intervals as below:-

2016-04-06T11:13:34.557478+00:00 app[worker.1]:

2016-04-06T11:13:34.557497+00:00 app[worker.1]:

2016-04-06T11:13:34.570029+00:00 app[worker.1]: Path: /app/app/

2016-04-06T11:13:34.570041+00:00 app[worker.1]:

2016-04-06T11:13:34.616102+00:00 app[worker.1]: entered shell--

2016-04-06T11:13:35.208536+00:00 heroku[worker.1]: State changed from up to crashed

I need to execute the above worker dyno every minute. Do I need to use scheduler add-on for this in conjunction to the worker?

What I have came to know after further implementation is that, the worker process is just like a "daemon" process running on linux. So basically the frequency of worker dyno run is just everytime.

The process that executes on worker should be formed such so as to create a loop with some specific delay after each run.

In cases where you need to use an specific frecuency, you must use the clock process type instead of worker.

That way you can schedule jobs to be executed every minute.
