How to stop and restart memcached server?
Asked Answered
Using root, try something like this:
/etc/init.d/memcached restart
it did not work- is there a need to creare script to stop and start as service? –
Annunciate
well, it realy depends on your linux distribution and how you did install memcache. If you hav installed package of your distribution there should be memcached start/stop script (maybe it is in different directory like /etc/rc.d) If you installed memcached manualy you probably need also create star/stop script by yourself. –

I had to add sudo –
Moiety
Log in as root or do
su -
Then:
service memcached restart
If that doesn't work, then:
/etc/init.d/memcached restart
It all depends on which Linux distro (or other OS) you're using.
btw the dash after su is important, without it, it will report it can't find "service" –
Unsociable
This was the correct answer for me, running Ubuntu and memcached as a service. Without specificing service, it does not work. –

If you don't have root, but sudo privileges:
sudo service memcached restart –
Denn on some systems
sudo su - would work to change to root user. –
Unsociable if you have
sudo (on Debian-based systems) no need for su - –
Anesthesiology If you're using homebrew:
brew services restart memcached
Note that
services is now considered an external tool to brew. apple.stackexchange.com/questions/150300/… –
Consequently ...meaning you need to install it before you can use it:
brew tap homebrew/services –
Studding sudo service memcached stop
sudo service memcached start
sudo service memcached restart
if linux
if install by apt-get
service memcached stop
service memcached restart
if install by source code
Usage: /etc/init.d/memcached {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}
can also simply kill $pid to stop
As root on CentOS 7:
systemctl start memcached
systemctl stop memcached
systemctl restart memcached
To tell the service to start at reboot (ex chkconfig):
systemctl enable memcached
To tell the service to not start at reboot:
systemctl disable memcached
To shutdown memcache daemon:
sudo service memcached stop
To start memcached daemon:
sudo service memcached start
Restart memcached server:
sudo service memcached restart
You can see if Memcache is currently runing:
sudo ps -e | grep memcached
And you can check the TCP or UDP ports if something (e.g. Memcache) is listening to it:
netstat -ap | grep TheChosenPort#
netstat -ap | grep 11211
For some Linuxes you need to change your commands like:
sudo /etc/init.d/memcached start
sudo /etc/init.d/memcached restart
sudo /etc/init.d/memcached stop
If you want to be allowed to shutdown the memcached server you can give it that option before start it :
memcached -A &
With this option when you connect to memcached server for example:
telnet localhost 11211
then you can use shutdown command to shutdown the server. You can also shutdown the memcached server when it is run as a process, first find the process PID using:
pidof memcached
then use:
kill PID command
If you have an older version of memcached and need a script to wrap memcached as a service, here it is: Memcached Service Script
For me, I installed it on a Mac via Homebrew and it is not set up as a service. To run the memcached server, I simply execute memcached -d. This will establish Memcached server on the default port, 11211.
> memcached -d
> telnet localhost 11211
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.

VERSION 1.4.20
You can use the -d switch to launch memcached as a daemon (bit cleaner than backgrounding it) –

How do you stop memcached if you started it with
memcached -d? –
