Redis database server startup item for MacOS X

A MacOS X startup item script to automatically start up Redis on system bootup.

By default the script assumes that Redis was installed with Homebrew and the binary is /usr/local/bin/redis-server, and that the config file is /usr/local/etc/redis.conf. You may change this in the script if yours differs.

Author: Chris Bailey (@chrisrbailey on Twitter) But, this is a blatant ripoff of René Sprotte's MongoDB startup item: http://github.com/jonmagic/mongodb-startupitem-osx

Installation

  1. Set Redis to run as a daemon in its config file.
  2. Copy (as root) the folder redis to /Library/StartupItems
  3. Restart your Mac
