pingu v0.2.0

pingu

Pingu is a tiny little Heroku app pinger that prevents your dynos from falling asleep.

Kinda like that horrible guard guy on Reykjavik airport.

#Usage (recommended)

1. Clone pingu. Run npm install.
2. Create a pingu user.
3. Save your Heroku API token somewhere in pingu user's ${HOME} and make sure you limit access (only make it readable by pingu)! You can source it in your pingu user ~/.bashrc file.

4. Create a Cron job that runs pingu and pass it the Heroku token. Something like:

   */30 * * * * HEROKU_API_KEY=${HEROKU_API_KEY} ${HOME}/pingu/node_modules/.bin/coffee ${HOME}/pingu

5. PROFIT!
