Redis is an open source, BSD licensed, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets. This works on Fedora. After adding the description for chkconfig the error "service redis_6379 does not support chkconfig" disappeared.

You saved me with this, thanks!

Thanks! Saved me too!

Thank you,worked for me.

Very small fix. Line 12 should be # pidfile: /var/run/redis_6379.pid instead of # pidfile: /varn/run/redis_6379.pid (no n in /var).
Thank you for sharing.
