redis: MAINPID not set?
I have installed redis on an ubuntu bionic server. I can start it, but stopping is not possible with sudo systemctl stop redis-server.service. That command hangs forever.
In the service script (/etc/systemd/system/redis.service), a pid file is created with
ExecStartPost?=/bin/sh -c "echo $MAINPID > /var/run/redis/redis.pid"
This creates an empty pid file, however. That makes me suspect that $MAINPID is not set. And that would explain why the stopcommand fails: that executes
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s TERM $MAINPID
And if $MAINPID is empty, that would explain why service stop hangs: it waits for user input.
Any ideas if there is an alternative to using $MAINPID?
