I don t know specifically for redis  but for servers in general   What OS or distribution   Often there will be a stop or  etc init d     command that will be able to look up the existing pid in a pid file   You can look up what process is already bound to the port with sudo netstat -nlpt  linux options  other netstat flavors will vary  and signal it to stop   I would not use kill -9 on a running server unless there really is no other signal or method to shut it down

One thing to check if the redis commands are not working for you is if your redis-server pid is actually being created   You specify the location of where this file is in    etc systemd system redis service    and it should have a section that looks something like this     Service  Type forking User redis Group redis ExecStart  usr bin redis-server  etc redis redis conf PIDFile  run redis redis-server pid TimeoutStopSec 0 Restart always   Check the location and permissions of the PIDFile directory  in my case    run redis     I was trying to restart the service logged in as deploy but the directory permissions were listed as   drwxrwsr-x   2 redis      redis         40 Jul 20 17 37 redis  If you need a refresher on linux permissions  check this out    But the problem was I was executing the restart as my deploy user which the permissions above are r-x  not allowing my user to write to the PIDFile directory   Once I realized that  I logged in using root  reran the restart command on the redis  service redis restart  and everything worked   That was a headache but hopefully this saves someone a little time

Option 1  go to redis installation directory and navigate to src   in my case      opt redis3 src redis-cli -p 6379 shutdown   where 6379 is the default port   Option 2  find redis process and kill  ps aux   grep redis-server  t6b3fg   22292  0 0  0 0 106360  1588 pts 0    S    01 19   0 00  bin sh  sbin service redis start t6b3fg   22299  0 0  0 0  11340  1200 pts 0    S    01 19   0 00  bin sh  etc init d redis start   And Then initiate kill   kill -9 22292  kill -9 22299   I m using Centos 6 7   x86 64  hope it helps

You can try this code  sudo kill -9   ps aux   grep  redis    awk   print  2

If you know on what port it would be running by default it would be 6379   you can use below command to get the pid of the process using that port and then can execute kill command for the same pid   sudo lsof -i    lt port gt    awk   print  2     the above command will give you pid   kill  lt pid gt    This would shutdown your server

I would suggest to disable Redis-server  which prevents auto start while computer restarts and very useful to use docker like tools etc  Step 1  Stop the redis-server sudo service redis-server stop  Step 2  Disable the redis-server sudo systemctl disable redis-server  if you need redis  you can start it as  sudo service redis-server start

Another way could be   ps -ef   grep -i  redis-server  kill -9 PID owned by redis   Works on  NIX  amp  OSX

Usually this problem arises after I shut down my computer   or leaving running   an irregular way   I believe the port gets stuck open  while the process stops but continues to be bound to the previous port   9 10 times the fix can be     ps aux   grep redis  - gt  MyUser 2976  0 0  0 0  2459704    320       S    Wed01PM   0 29 94 redis-server   6379    kill 2976    redis-server   Good to go

A cleaner  more reliable way is to go into redis-cli and then type shutdown  In redis-cli  type help  server and you will see this near the bottom of the list      SHUTDOWN -   summary  Synchronously save the dataset to disk and then   shut down the server   since  0 07   And if you have a redis-server instance running in a terminal  you ll see this   User requested shutdown     6716  02 Aug 15 48 44   Saving the final RDB snapshot before exiting   6716  02 Aug 15 48 44   DB saved on disk  6716  02 Aug 15 48 44   Redis is now ready to exit  bye bye

Redis has configuration parameter pidfile  e g   etc redis conf - check redis source code   for example     If a pid file is specified  Redis writes it where specified at startup   and removes it at exit      When the server runs non daemonized  no pid file is created if none is   specified in the configuration  When the server is daemonized  the pid file   is used even if not specified  defaulting to   var run redis pid     pidfile  var run redis pid   If it is set or could be set  instead of searching for process id  pid  by using ps   grep something like this could be used    kill   cat  var run redis pid    If required one can make redis stop script like this  adapted default redis 5 0 init d script in redis source code    PIDFILE  var run redis pid if     -f  PIDFILE   then     echo   PIDFILE does not exist  process is not running  else     PID   cat  PIDFILE      echo  Stopping          kill  PID     while   -x  proc   PID        do         echo  Waiting for Redis to shutdown              sleep 1     done     echo  Redis stopped  fi

If you are running redis in a docker container  none of the present answers will help  You have to stop redis container  Otherwise  redis process will keep respawning     docker ps CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                    PORTS                              e1c008ab04a2        bitnami redis 4 0 8-r0   0 0 0 0 6379- gt 6379 tcp    docker stop e1c008ab04a2 e1c008ab04a2

If you know on which port default 6379  your redis server is running you can go with option 1 or you can check your redis process and you can kill with option 2  option 1 Kill process on  port   check       sudo lsof -t -i 6379 kill        sudo kill  sudo lsof -t -i 6379    option 2  Find the previously Running Redis Server    ps auxx   grep redis-server   Kill the specific process by finding PID  Process ID  - Redis Sever  kill -9 PID   Now start your redis server with   redis-server  path to redis conf

For OSX  I created the following aliases for starting and stopping redis  installed with Homebrew    alias redstart  redis-server  usr local etc redis 6379 conf  alias redstop  redis-cli -h 127 0 0 1 -p 6379 shutdown    This has worked great for local development   Homebrew now has homebrew-services that can be used to start  stop and restart services  homebrew-services  brew services is automatically installed when run    brew services start run redis  brew services stop redis brew services restart redis   If you use run  then it will not start it at login  nor boot   start will start the redis service and add it at login and boot

Either connect to node instance and use shutdown command or if you are on ubuntu you can try to restart redis server through init d    etc init d redis-server restart   or stop start it    etc init d redis-server stop  etc init d redis-server start   On Mac  redis-cli shutdown

In my case it was    etc init d redismaster stop  etc init d redismaster start   To find out what is your service name  you can run   sudo updatedb locate redis   And it will show you every Redis files in your system
