What is this process for?

Is it safe to kill the process?

  This is not enough information to decide that but are you sure you didn't start this process? What does this command shows?

  ps aux|grep more

  Unless I am mistaken, more means you have additional command output to scroll through in your terminal, which is not copied and pasted, including the process name and path in this case.

  Without the process name or path associated with the process identifier (PID), it will be impossible for anyone to answer your question without other additional information.

  
  I would recommend using the WHM Show Current Running Processes page. It should show some basic information with regard to the PID. After which you can copy and paste the entire line in here if the same PID is still running.
