When I do ps -A, it shows me all running process but not the one which I want to kill.

But the process which I want to kill its shows PID

ps aux | grep -i resourcemanager show below output

hduser   20155  0.0  0.0  14228   984 pts/5    S+   21:37   0:00 grep --color=auto -i resourcemanager

When I kill, pkill resourcemanager, and run the same command to check whether resourcemanager is running or not, it shows again with new PID. But never shows up in ps -A command output.

Can anyone help, What's wrong happening ..?

What you're seeing when you do ps aux | grep -i resourcemanager is the grep process itself – steeldriver Sep 15 '19 at 16:14
@steeldriver, I'm seeing this hduser 20155 0.0 0.0 14228 984 pts/5 S+ 21:37 0:00 grep --color=auto -i resourcemanager – Jenny Rose Sep 15 '19 at 16:29

Yes exactly - notice the grep --color=auto -i resourcemanager at the end? – steeldriver Sep 15 '19 at 16:30
@steeldriver, Yes..What does it says .. ? – Jenny Rose Sep 15 '19 at 16:32
Does the answer here help? Why does ps output show a process even if it is not running? – steeldriver Sep 15 '19 at 20:26
as an alternative I use this one which might work for you, I use it because vlc leaves icons in the top bar (19.04) even when those vlc's have been closed. killall -9 vlc yours would be killall -9 resourcemanager , after sudo apt install killall if you dont already have it. is this an answer/solution – pierrely Sep 16 '19 at 02:59
