As described in Execute a Unix Command with Node.js:

var sys = require('util')
var exec = require('child_process').exec;

function puts(error, stdout, stderr) {
    sys.puts(stdout)
}

exec("redis-server", puts);

I do not recommend that you do this over tcp. This is a big security hole that you are opening. There are plenty of tools for starting remote services over tcp. Just to name a couple on unix Plexus and even ssh.

What is the biz requirement for this?

@Dvir Volk recommended using the start script and setting up redis as a service.
