Heroku Scheduler: Will it spin up a new dyno if a worker already exists?

Question

I have a worker dyno used by Sidekiq to process background jobs and sits idle most of the time. If I schedule a task with the Heroku Scheduler, would that task use this running worker dyno or will it spin a new one?

Do I have control over this?

I re-read the documentation. It always spins up a dyno. – aaandre Jul 28 '15 at 06:16 — aaandre, Jul 28 '15 at 06:16
