Don't kill anything you don't understand. There are better ways, beginning with issuing a Stop Job request.

From Director choose Cleanup Resources.

you can do ps -ef | grep <jobname> to get the pid. Take care while working with this PID.

Why do you want the process ID?

DO NOT KILL a job's process - it will have several child processes. If you kill the job's process these all turn into zombies.

kill -9 PID

Use the above command. But please don't kill any process as mentioned to you earlier. This was for FYI.

There are LOTS of processes. The player process PIDs can be logged by setting APT_PM_SHOW_PIDS environment variable.

NEVER do a kill -9 {pid} for DataStage processes unless all other options have been tried.
