node, how do I kill/stop node process? Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I've been trying to kill node process but always get error.

ps aux | grep node

root     21960  0.0  0.0  16976   972 pts/3    S+   00:58   0:00 grep --color=auto node

when I tried to kill using -9 and even -2 I get this-bash: kill: (21960) - No such process

 kill -9 21960
-bash: kill: (21960) - No such process

 kill -2 21960
 -bash: kill: (21960) - No such process

 kill -9 16976
 -bash: kill: (16976) - No such process

 kill -2 16976
 -bash: kill: (16976) - No such process

You can tell the PID you are receiving is from the grep process by the returned value 

grep --color=auto node

You can always use pidof to get your node pids

pidof node

Or you could just kill all of the node pids outright

pkill node

But based on the returned value of your ps aux, it doesn't look like a node process is running.
