On the cPanel interface, open to the Cron Jobs menu, then add the following task by running it every 5 minutes.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/redis-peruser check >/dev/null 2>&1

After you take the corn job, you have to wait 5-10 minutes to get the password required to use the Redis database.

The password for cPanel storage can be found in the following file:

/home/HASH/.cagefs/var/run/redis/redis.pwd

HASH must be replaced by the cPaneles login name.
