Killing abandoned console on Heroku

Question

I have accidentally closed a Heroku console in a not-so-graceful manner. And now when I run

heroku ps --app myapp

it shows

run.8         up for 5h           bundle exec rails console
run.9         complete for 15m    bundle exec rails console
web.1         up for 4h           bundle exec unicorn -p $PORT -c ./..
web.2         up for 4h           bundle exec unicorn -p $PORT -c ./..
worker.1      up for 4h           bundle exec rake jobs:work

Any way I could close the run.8 process and stop having to pay for that one-off dyno?

Answer 1

On Cedar you run

heroku ps

and get

Process State Command -------- ---------- ------------------------------------
run.1 up for 16h bundle exec rails console

then run

heroku stop run.1

to kill it

Replace run.1 with the process name from the output above e.g. it might be run.12 or web.10 for a web dyno or worker.16 for a worker.

Answer 2

Try

heroku ps:stop run.8

Got this from another SO answer.

Answer 3

have you tried just restarting the app - is that possible to do?

heroku restart
