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 gt     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

redis-cli -h XXX XXX XXX XXX -p YYYY  xxx xxx xxx xxx is the IP address and yyyy is the port EXAMPLE from my dev environment redis-cli -h 10 144 62 3 -p 30000  REDIS CLI COMMANDS  Host  port  password and database By default redis-cli connects to the server at 127 0 0 1 port 6379  As you can guess  you can easily change this using command line options  To specify a different host name or an IP address  use -h  In order to set a different port  use -p  redis-cli -h redis15 localnet org -p 6390 ping
