How do you kill this process ?

Answer 1

As mentioned the output that you are seeing is from the ps aux | grep kibana command that you ran. I'm guessing you started kibana using by running the kibana scipt in the bin directory. In this case do something like this:

ps -ef | grep '.*node/bin/node.*src/cli'

Look for the line that looks something like this:

username   5989  2989  1 11:33 pts/1    00:00:05 ./../node/bin/node ./../src/cli

Then run a kill -9 5989 If you have multiple output rows make sure you kill the correct process.

Answer 2

You try to kill your grep process, not kibana service who is not running currently.
