starting and stopping redis

[Nicholas Saunders]

I was unable to start/stop redis using the "service" command below earlier:


root $
root $ /etc/init.d/redis-server stop
Stopping redis-server (via systemctl): redis-server.service.
root $
root $ service redis-server stop
root $
root $ service redis-server start
root $
root $ service redis-server stop
root $
root $ netstat -peanut | grep redis
root $
root $ service redis-server start
root $
root $ netstat -peanut | grep redis
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:6379 0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      
135        26496268 566336/redis-server
tcp6       0      0 ::1:6379 :::*                    LISTEN      
135        26496269 566336/redis-server
root $
root $ service redis-server stop
root $
root $ netstat -peanut | grep redis
root $


but it seems to be working now.  Is that odd to not be able to use the 
service command?

I earlier tried systmctl as well, no luck at the time.  I had to resort 
to that first command.  Perhaps using the init.d file (?) explicitly 
connected up systemctl and service?



thanks,
