How can I Stop Redis Server?

To stop the Redis server, you can use the following methods depending on your operating system and how Redis was installed:

1. Using the Command Line

If Redis was started from the command line, you can stop it by pressing Ctrl + C in the terminal window where Redis is running. This sends a termination signal to the Redis server process, causing it to stop.



2. Using the Redis CLI

If Redis is running in the foreground, you can use the Redis CLI to send a shutdown command. Open a new terminal window and use the following command:




redis-cli shutdown

This command sends a shutdown signal to the Redis server, causing it to stop.



3. Using the Service Manager (Linux)

If Redis was installed as a service on a Linux system, you can use the service manager to stop it. For example, if you are using “systemd", you can use the following command:




sudo systemctl stop redis

Replace redis with the name of the Redis service if it differs on your system.

4. Using the Task Manager (Windows)

If Redis was installed as a service on a Windows system, you can use the Task Manager to stop it. Open the Task Manager, go to the “Services” tab, find the Redis service, right-click on it, and select “Stop”.

Note: It’s important to note that stopping the Redis server will cause any unsaved data to be lost. Make sure to save any important data or perform a backup before stopping the server.
