How can i make a reset command to restart my discord.js bot?

I want to make a command so when I do !reset it will reboot/restart the bot. I am using Discord.js v12.

This bot is a simple moderation bot for a server so I just want a quick command to fix errors that require a quick restart without going into Heroku and restart it from there.

To restart your bot you shall destroy the Client and call the login() method.

client.destroy();
client.login(process.env.token);

Example:

if (command === "reset") {
    if (message.author.id !== "Your ID Here") return false;
    message.reply("Resetting...");
    client.destroy();
    client.login(process.env.token);
};

I'd imagine you'd need to call the Heroku API to restart the service.
