nodejs runs every time when osx startup

Question

I call command ps aux | grep node

it displays

 mymac       565   0.1  0.0  2423356    184 s000  R+   12:39PM   0:00.00 grep node

I checked system preferences login item, there is pre-startup item for node.

how to avoid its node starting up or kill its process?

I try to use sudo killall node, but no result

your comment welcome

Answer 1

That line is showing the grep process. Node isn't running.
