redis-cli command with argument for redis which needs authentication

[Sonali Palkar]

Hi All:

I am using redis 2.4.1 server and I have set requirespass setting in redis.conf for authenticating any command sent to redis.

I want to run BGREWRITEOF command from my shell script. I use it as follows.

redis-cli -p 9736 BGREWRITEOF

But this command fails and I get error like 'Operation not permitted'. I know that the cause is a password. As I am not sending password it is not accepting this command.  But I do not know how to pass password in the above command where redis-cli command is getting executed with arguments.

If I run redis-cli without any argument it opens client console and then I can execute AUTH command first and then execute BGWRITEOF. But in my scenario where I want to execute BGWRITEOF via a script I am not able to find the way to authenticate redis.

Please help how this can be achieved.

Thank you.
