Redis doesn't save on SIGTERM

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Redis should save the database when receiving SIGTERM, as it is common to
terminate applications that way using init scripts and the kill command. I
could not find a good way to save and shutdown Redis in my init script.

Not a solution to the SIGTERM issue, but here is a simplified version (removed
special things and distribution-specific parts) of the init script we use here.

Also if you distribute redis-cli with your package, you can use the following to
shutdown:

"redis-cli shutdown"

Thanks. As a note, "redis-cli shutdown" doesn't integrate well with my init 
script -
I tried something like this:

      if $CLI -p $PORT shutdown ; then
        success
      else
        fail
      fi

which resulted in a fail because redis-cli seems to return 1 on shutdown:

s11:~$ ./redis/redis-cli -p 62017 shutdown
s11:~$ echo $?
1

(maybe this is worth another bugreport?)

Anyway, still waiting for a proper shutdown with SIGTERM :-)
