One thing that confused me a little bit with this command is that if redis-cli
fails to connect using the passed connection string it will still put you in the redis-cli
shell, i.e:
redis-cli
Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused
not connected>
You'll then need to exit
to get yourself out of the shell. I wasn't paying much attention here and kept passing in new redis-cli
commands wondering why the command wasn't using my passed connection string.
