want to run redis-server in background nonstop

Question

I have downloaded redis-2.6.16.tar.gz file and i installed sucessfully. After installed i run src/redis-server it worked fine.

But i don\'t want manually run src/redis-s

Answer 1

I think the best way is to use Redis' config file:

# By default Redis does not run as a daemon. Use 'yes' if you need it.
# Note that Redis will write a pid file in /var/run/redis.pid when daemonized.
daemonize yes

Set daemonize to yes in the config file. Say the file is ~/.redis/redis.conf, then just run

$ redis-server ~/.redis/redis.conf

And it just works.
