How do I restart redis that I installed with brew?

update

brew services expired due to no one want to maintain it. check below: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/issues/28657

check launchctl function instead.

or lunchy

So instead of:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.redis.redis-server.plist

you can do this:

lunchy start redis

and:

lunchy ls

It used to be able to use as below:

brew services restart redis

should be the restart command You want. You can also run

brew services list

which will give you list of your brew services.

As of Dec-7-2015 You can use brew services.

You need to brew tap homebrew/services and then thw following will work as expected:

install brew install redis

start brew services start redis

stop brew services stop redis

restart brew services restart redis

More info here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-services

Brew doesn't support the services command anymore.

The recommended way is to use os x's launchctl command.

First you need to setup redis as a service managed by launchctl:

$ ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/redis/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents

Then you can use launchctl load/ launchctl unload to start/stop the service:

$ # start redis server
$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
$
$ # stop redis server
$ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.redis.plist
