I want to stop the redis server and it just keeps going and going. I am using redis-2.6.7
Check that it is running:
redis-server
It say
Shutdown Redis Server $ redis-cli -a password -p 6379 shutdown
$ redis-cli -a password -p 6379 shutdown
Start Redis Server $ sudo service redis_6379 start
$ sudo service redis_6379 start
It works on Ubuntu Server 14.04 x86 Redis v2.8.15.
