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

For OSX, I created the following aliases for starting and stopping redis (installed with Homebrew):

alias redstart='redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis/6379.conf'
alias redstop='redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 shutdown'

This has worked great for local development!

Homebrew now has homebrew-services that can be used to start, stop and restart services. homebrew-services

brew services is automatically installed when run.

brew services start|run redis 
brew services stop redis
brew services restart redis

If you use run, then it will not start it at login (nor boot). start will start the redis service and add it at login and boot.
