Node processes keep restarting

I'm currently running a few node processes on PM2, but when I stop them with pm2, then run ps -ef | grep node, it shows the processes as still running.

One of them is an express application that listens on the port the original process did, but most requests end with Cannot GET /something. Oddly, some requests do respond.

Doing pkill -9 process_name kills that process, but when I list the processes again it shows it as having restarted with a higher PID.

I've tried doing pm2 kill and then killing the processes, but they keep coming back.

I don't suppose your node processes are running under some sort of supervisor program, like forever (or here)? – Jeff Schaller Jun 03 '19 at 03:57
Oh, never mind my ignorance, apparently pm2 is such a supervisor – Jeff Schaller Jun 03 '19 at 03:59
I've tried killing pm2 and they still restart. – Micah Gilbert Jun 03 '19 at 16:25
