In My Humble Opinion you should kill 17862, and it won't cause any harm.

Sorry in advance if this will sound harsh - it is not meant that way.

The best guidance one could offer you is to get someone knowledgeable to do it for you. Some operating systems try their utmost to protect everybody from the consequences of their doing. This usually helps users a little bit and effectively cripples the work of the administrator, because some of what the admin typically does is potentially harmful. It is a separate discussion if this philosophy has merit or not and i will not carry it out here.

However, UNIX is diametrally different: the system will not second-guess if what one attempts to do might have effects the builder of the OS hasn't foreseen - if a user is allowed to do something it is carried out - NO QUESTIONS ASKED! Because the root-user (aka administrator) of such a system is allowed to do everything (literally - this includes wiping out the system completely!) everything someone with such a privilege does is an absolute security hazard.

UNIX is like a gun with a very loose trigger: very efficient in the hand of an expert and in a duel you want to have this (not the one where, upon pulling the trigger, a security warning comes up are you sure you really want to shoot?) but on the other hand a tool for shooting yourself into the foot if you aren't trained well.

We could tell you how to do this or that, but in fact a single misplaced space or a misread instruction may turn valuable advice into a recipe for disaster. No offense, but you don't come across as someone acting in his comfort zone of knowledge here and i suggest you get someone who is comfortable doing what you attempt to do here. If you want to go somewhere by airplane you wouldn't ask a professional pilot "please guide me what to do to fly" - you would hire a pilot and let him fly the plane for you, no?

The best guidance therefore in my opinion is: hands off and hire/get someone to do this.

I hope this helps.

Please run ps with the option to show the parent processes so we can see what (if any) parent process is controlling PID 17862.

Thanks.

See above, the parent is "init".
