How to stop a heroku server?

I have a staging server hosted on heroku, I just want to bring it down, but not destroy the app. How can I do it? Do I have any command like 'heroku stop' like 'heroku restart' for restarting?

OR

Is there a way to automate the server to turn off itself when it exceeds the 750 hr free usage?

Actually I don't want the server so I am trying to stop it, or leave it for the free hours.

24*31=744, so as long as you have 1 web dyno it'll always be free. No need to stop it. – Rid 6/2, 2012 at 6:51

I have rake tasks, scheduler mailers, crons etc, so It exceeds 750.. Also few rake tasks are running like 5 hours or so which is supposed to be ended in 10 mins.. – Depressomotor 6/2, 2012 at 7:1

The pricing page implies you can set the number of web dynos to 0. – Caltrop 6/2, 2012 at 8:10

You can always put something irrelevant in the Procfile so it doesn't launch your rails app/workers/crons, etc.. or enable the maintenance mode – Sferics 6/2, 2012 at 8:30

You can also restart it - https://mcmap.net/q/116076/-how-to-restart-a-rails-server-on-heroku/631619 – Grandioso 11/9, 2014 at 1:49

Login to the account, and click on the resource and then bring down the dyno count to 0 and the save. Now you can check by trying to open the site. It will be down.

@NeilMiddleton how do you stop Cedar then? – Budgie 23/6, 2014 at 20:12

You can scale individual non-web processes down to zero quite happily:

$ heroku ps:scale worker=0
$ heroku ps:scale resque=0
etc...

and web to 1:

$ heroku ps:scale web=1

As Mischa says, you get one free dyno running, so leave your 1 web dyno running (I'm not sure you can stop the last web process)

in fact you can. With heroku's new procfile, apps aren't limited to web processes and are allowed to remove them altogether if they're not needed. – Fakir 6/2, 2012 at 9:47

Indeed - but that requires a redeploy in order to stop. – Etheleneethelin 6/2, 2012 at 10:27

You can put it under maintenance, which stops it but doesn't delete it:

heroku maintenance:on

Not sure if this exactly helps. From their page "Enabling or disabling maintenance mode generally doesn’t alter running dynos. Web dynos continue to run as before" – Vulture 11/8, 2012 at 15:33

Easily disable/enable the App by going to your Heroku dashboard ==> resource tab the rest is on the picture below:
