my problem is i'm not sure which processes to kill.[...]
When you identified the process IDs you need to check which process (command) responds to them. Use
ps -ef | grep <somepid(numberonly)youfound>
to find a process that writes to some file in that dir. And you probably don't need to KILL a process, you can always reduce size of the file the process writes into. Think I told you before already: use lsof if you cannot get the information by means of the operating system.
Btw. if /var grows full I'd start checking size of wtmp. If it is (too) big, either blank it or shrink it. This can be done during operation too. Search this forum or some other AIX groups to find out how.
