cannot close xterm

I had this error when installing and running a vncserver before, which I have now removed.
Should the pid IDs stay the same each time I run this?

[code]
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15034 15033 15032 15031 15030 15029 15028 15027 15026
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15044 15043 15042 15041 15040 15039 15038 15037 15036
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15054 15053 15052 15051 15050 15049 15048 15047 15046
[root nxserver]#
[/code]
Just before that I killed the vnc server so not sure what this could be.

[code]
[root nxserver]# /sbin/service vncserver stop
Shutting down VNC server: 1:jason [ OK ]
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15010 15008 15006 15004 15002 15000 14998 14995 14994
[root nxserver]# kill -9 14994
-bash: kill: (14994) - No such process
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15034 15033 15032 15031 15030 15029 15028 15027 15026
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15044 15043 15042 15041 15040 15039 15038 15037 15036
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15054 15053 15052 15051 15050 15049 15048 15047 15046

[root nxserver]# pidof vncserver

[root nxserver]# /sbin/service vncserver stop

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

It is not at all clear to me what you are asking. Your post is very confusing.
