Redis

Redis is an in-memory data structure store, it listens on port 6379.

I just wanted to see if redis was in use on a server so this was just enough to establish there were no keys in use and no other processes using it so I could stop it and remove it.

Access from a console is best from the redis-cli command.

-bash-4.1$ redis-cli
