How to use

Just require the module and create a new redis server instance.

var redisembed = require('node-redis-embed');
var redis = redisembed.createServer();

By calling createServer() function you will start and configure a new instance of redis-server.

Start and Stop

When you node app started a new redis-server instance, the main process events exit/SIGINT are listened for stopping the server when your app stops.

However, if your app exit violently by throwing an error your program will kill itself without stopping the server. That's why on each createServer() call, node-redis-embed check if there are already a redis-server process (by using pidof -s redis-server) and try to stop it properly before starting it again.
