Unfortunately redis sets the process name in a way that doesn't allow distinguishing multiple instances by matching the name with the command line flags, and that's the only way that the rc.d framework allows matching daemon processes to the script, so running multiple copies via the rc.d framework won't work in a generic way. (in the case of many other daemons, one can simply symlink the rc.d script under a different name, and set flags separately for each name, but that won't work here).. You could copy /etc/rc.d/redis under a different name and modify it so that pexp matches the process title when run with the alternative config file, or otherwise run it outside of rc.d (e.g. from rc.local). -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
