So, the PR (linked above) was merged (and hopefully, isn’t reverted before the next release).

This command should build and deploy a new image with `schedule` intact:

```bash
# alternatively, specify the --image switch if using a prebuilt
fly m update <machine-id> --dockerfile </path/to/file> -a <app-name>

```

I’ll send another PR to fix `fly deploy` wiping out `schedule`, in a bit.
