Hello,

When you run top you could press c and you would be able to see the full command which would give you more information about the process.

Another thing that you could do is run:

ps aux | grep java

This should also give you more information.

If you think that you don’t need that process, you could stop it by running:

sudo kill 31694

If it does not stop, you could try running the kill command with a SIGKILL:

sudo kill -9 31694

Regards,
Bobby
