Start Redis service on Slackware

Run the following commands:

• chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.redis
• /etc/rc.d/rc.redis start

It listens in port 6379 and stores it's data on /var/lib/redis/, as configured in /etc/redis.conf.

Tutorial in http://openmymind.net/redis.pdf.

Connect to a Redis server

To connect to a Redis server, the redis-cli command may be used.

Usage examples:

• redis-cli -h <hostname> -p <port> -a <passwd>

• redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -a secretPass

Setting and getting keys

The basic anatomy of a command is:

• <command> <key> <value>

To set a key named unixcommand:bc with the value {command:'bc' , description:'bc - An arbitrary precision calculator language' , syntax:'bc [ -hlwsqv ] [long-options] [ file ... ]'} the command would be:

• set unixcommand:bc "{command:'bc' , description:'bc - An arbitrary precision calculator language' , syntax:'bc [ -hlwsqv ] [long-options] [ file ... ]'}"

To get the key value the command would be:

• get unixcommand:bc

Redis hash key

Command prefix H.

Set an hash key with multiple keys with values:

• hmset <haskey> <key> <value> <key> <value> <key> <value> (...)

• hmset test:properties prop1 value1 prop2 value2 prop3 value3

Gets key values for an hash key:

• hmget <haskey> <key> <key> <key> (...)

• hmget test:properties prop1 prop3

Get all keys and values for an hash key:

• hmgetall <haskey>

• hmgetall test:properties

Get keys for an hash key:

• hkeys <haskey>

• hkeys test:properties

Get keys for an hash key:

• hkeys <haskey>

• hkeys test:properties

Delete key from an hash key:

• hdel <haskey> <key>

• hdel test:properties prop2

Redis list

Command prefix L or R.

Examples:

• rpush list value
• rpop list
• rpush queueA "{'id':1,'task':'add','values':[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]}"
• rpop list value

Redis sorted set

Command prefix Z. Only allow unique members values on the sorted set. When a existing member is added, the score is updated.

Examples:

• zadd sortedSetx 123 "{'key':'hello'}" #add member to the sorted set with score 123
• zcard sortedSetx #number of members in the sorted set sortedSetx
• zrangebyscore sortedSetx 100 150 # get members where the score is between 100 and 150
• zrange sortedSetx 0 0 #get the members between 0 and 1 index
• zrem sortedSetx "{'key':'hello'}" #removes the member in the sorted set
