Question

No way to have console wired with Heroku lately:

lsoave@ubuntu:~/rails/github/gitwatcher$ heroku run console
Running console attached to terminal... 
Timeout awaiting process
lsoave@ubuntu:~/rails/github/gitwatcher$ 

Does it happen to anyone else ?

From: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/oneoff-admin-ps

The heroku run process opens a connection to Heroku on port 5000. If
your local network or ISP is blocking port 5000, or you are
experiencing a connectivity issue, you will see an error similar to:

$ heroku run rails console
Running rails console attached to terminal... 
Timeout awaiting process

You can test your connection to Heroku by trying to connect directly
to port 5000 by using telnet to rendezvous.heroku.com. A successful
session will look like this:

$ telnet rendezvous.heroku.com 5000
Trying 50.19.103.36...
Connected to ec2-50-19-103-36.compute-1.amazonaws.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
