I terminated the redis server using SHUTDOWN from redis-cli. Now the prompt shows 'not connected>'.
The only way I found to restart the server was to exit the redis-cli prompt and then do a restart of the redis service.
My question is, is there any way to restart the server from the redis-cli prompt using any redis commands WITHOUT EXITING the redis-cli prompt?
While you don't have to exit the cli, the server cannot be restarted from it once it is shut down.
