A stop job is running for Advanced key-value store (X / no limit)

  • 772

so after installing redis onto my ubuntu 20.04 server. Whenever I reboot. A stop job appears for Advanced key-value store. I believe this is part of redis but I don't know why it keeps appearing and taking so long. How do I stop it

  1. I had this issue too and the fix was pretty simple. You need to edit the redis service file defined by the command systemctl show -P FragmentPath redis.service :

    $ systemctl show -P FragmentPath redis.service
/lib/systemd/system/redis-server.service

    Look for the line that contains TimeoutStopSec and set it to the maximum value in seconds you want. I normally set it to 5 seconds.

    After configuring the file, the line should look something like this

    TimeoutStopSec=5s

    Now that's it, you may want to run the command systemctl daemon-reload just to complement this.

    You can then try rebooting or shutting down to confirm the change worked.

    Bonus

    If you want to set the maximum timeout for the entire system, you do so in the /etc/systemd/system.conf file.

    Look for the line DefaultTimeoutStopSec and set it just as you did previously.
