As others already noted  you have seen the grep process  If you want to restrict the output to tomcat itself  you have two alternatives    wrap the first searched character in a character class   ps -ef   grep   t omcat    This searches for tomcat too  but misses the grep  t omcat entry  because it isn t matched by  t omcat  use a custom output format with ps   ps -e -o pid comm   grep tomcat   This shows only the pid and the name of the process without the process arguments  So  grep is listed as grep and not as grep tomcat

ps -ef   will list all your currently running processes    grep tomcat   will pass the output to grep and look for instances of tomcat   Since the grep is a process itself  it is returned from your command   However  your output shows no processes of Tomcat running

To kill a process by name I use the following  ps aux   grep  search-term    grep -v grep   tr -s       cut -d     -f 2   xargs kill -9  The tr -s       cut -d     -f 2 is same as awk   print  2    tr supressess the tab spaces into single space and cut is provided with  lt SPACE gt  as the delimiter and the second column is requested  The second column in the ps aux output is the process id

Tomcat is not running   Your search is showing you the grep process  which is searching for tomcat   Of course  by the time you see that output  grep is no longer running  so the pid is no longer valid
