Are my Deno/Dockerfile based services meant to indicate "sleep" in the GUI when they finish executing their ENTRYPOINT?

I've created a Deno project, with associated Dockerfile, and deployments via CLI, the docker file effectively calls the main script, and the script executes once, and isn't continuously running (it's not a meant to be a web server, just a task). I have set them to "server less" mode.

I noticed that the "redis" service actually flips to "deployment slept", but I never see this for my services.

I have two questions, one is:

despite the UI are my services actually going to sleep or are they not? Have I configured my scripts/dockerfile in such a way that they're stuck running?

what I'm actually trying to do, is run a collection of scripts once a day, but they need to be in isolated services as they are prone to crashing.

I have maybe 4 scripts in total I run from my machine daily that I'm trying to migrate into the cloud. Is there a better way to do this?

I also don't know how to trigger these services once they're deployed. I'm comfortable with running them as a web server, but I'm curious as to whether I'm overlooking something and going about this the wrong way.

Here is the Dockerfile example:

```
# Use Deno base image

FROM denoland/deno:2.5.4

# Install git and ssh (required for cloning repos)

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \

git \

openssh-client \

&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Set working directory

WORKDIR /app

# Copy source files

COPY . .

# Cache dependencies

RUN deno cache main.ts

# Set environment

ENV DENO_DIR=/deno-dir

# Entry point

CMD ["deno", "run", "--allow-net", "--allow-env", "--env", "main.ts"]
```

Hi there,

You do correctly have serverless enabled. However, the way serverless works is that it scales up/down based on traffic. Looking at your metrics, you have constant traffic - so, it's not scaling down because the traffic is constant.

If you want to run something on a schedule, you could also try using functions and scheduling them via the cron feature.

Best,
