You can check if Redis is running by using the following command:

  1. please let me know.
ps -ef | grep redis-server

If the Redis process is running, it will display similar content as follows:

redis    1234     1  0 10:00 ?        00:00:00 redis-server
  1. system control manager
systemctl status redis

If the Redis service is running, it will display content similar to the following:

● redis.service - Advanced key-value store
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/redis.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2021-01-01 10:00:00 CST; 1 day 00h ago
 Main PID: 1234 (redis-server)
    Tasks: 4 (limit: 4915)
   Memory: 2.1G
   CGroup: /system.slice/redis.service
           └─1234 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379

If the Redis service is running, you will see the status as Active: active (running).

  1. command-line interface for Redis
redis-cli ping

If “PONG” is returned, it means the Redis server is running. If any other error message is returned, it suggests that the Redis server may not have been started.

The above are common methods to check if Redis is running on a Linux system. Choose the appropriate method based on your specific situation.
