Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...

            new mCzolko\HerokuSchedulerBundle\mCzolkoHerokuSchedulerBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

class HerokuSchedulerSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
{

    public static function getSubscribedEvents()
    {
        return [
            Events::TEN_MINUTES => 'tenMinutes',
            Events::HOURLY      => 'hourly',
            Events::DAILY       => 'daily'
        ];
    }

    public function tenMinutes()
    {
        // Check notifications on your Apple watch 
    }

    public function hourly()
    {
        // Send message at least one hot chick on Badoo
    }

    public function daily()
    {
