Hi - I'm rigging up my own auto-scaling solution for workers. My plan to shut a worker down when it's not needed is to set $exit = true when there are no jobs left for it to do. As you can see (https:// github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job/blob/v2.1.3/lib/delayed/ worker.rb#L74-92) this will simply end the "rake jobs:work" task just as if I had (for example) hit Ctrl+C.
My question is, will Heroku recognize that the worker process has ended and stop charging my account when this happens? Or do I have to actually hit the Heroku API to shut it down? I'd prefer to use $exit if possible, since that will ensure that the current worker (the one with no jobs available) shuts down, whereas if I tell the Heroku API to decrement my worker count by 1, and I have multiple workers running, it could kill one of the other ones mid-job.
