One thing you don't mention is which version of Ubuntu this is.  I 
wouldn't be terribly surprised for an older version to have issues.  A 
newer one, though, should be able to cope.  I might suggest looking in 
the syslog or redis logfile (if there is one) to look for clues.  I'd 
also recommend going with systemctl, as service is, if not actually 
deprecated, at least not what systemd uses by default.
