How can I stop redis-server?

Question

I apparently have a redis-server instance running because when I try to start a new server by entering redis-server, I\'m greeted with the followin

Answer 1

Either connect to node instance and use shutdown command or if you are on ubuntu you can try to restart redis server through init.d:

/etc/init.d/redis-server restart

or stop/start it:

/etc/init.d/redis-server stop
/etc/init.d/redis-server start

On Mac

redis-cli shutdown

Answer 2

A cleaner, more reliable way is to go into redis-cli and then type shutdown

In redis-cli, type help @server and you will see this near the bottom of the list:

SHUTDOWN - summary: Synchronously save the dataset to disk and then shut down the server since: 0.07

And if you have a redis-server instance running in a terminal, you'll see this:

User requested shutdown...
[6716] 02 Aug 15:48:44 * Saving the final RDB snapshot before exiting.
[6716] 02 Aug 15:48:44 * DB saved on disk
[6716] 02 Aug 15:48:44 # Redis is now ready to exit, bye bye...

Answer 3

Another way could be:

ps -ef | grep -i 'redis-server'
kill -9 PID owned by redis

Works on *NIX & OSX

Answer 4

MacOSX - It Worked :)

Step 1 : Find the previously Running Redis Server

ps auxx | grep redis-server

Step 2 : Kill the specific process by finding PID (Process ID) - Redis Sever

kill -9 PID

Answer 5

Following worked for me on MAC

 ps aux | grep 'redis-server' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs sudo kill -9

Answer 6

In my case it was:

/etc/init.d/redismaster stop
/etc/init.d/redismaster start

To find out what is your service name, you can run:

sudo updatedb
locate redis

And it will show you every Redis files in your system.
