Unfortunately after killing the process everything IS NOT OK. You have merely sorted out the symptoms (excessive processor use), but this issue will return either periodically, or after your next restart. You need to sort out the cause of the problem as detailed above. Either remove or correctly configure your Open Source Ticket Request system.
If by 'killing the app' you actually mean that you have removed the Open Source Ticket Request System, then you should be OK, and I apologise for the misunderstanding of your post.

I found the correct program
Use ps command or pidof command to find out process ID (PID). Syntax:
ps aux | grep processname
pidof processname
For example if process name is lighttpd, you can use any one of the following command to obtain process ID:
# ps aux | grep lighttpdOutput:
lighttpd 3486 0.0 0.1 4248 1432 ? S Jul31 0:00 /usr/sbin/lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.con
lighttpd 3492 0.0 0.5 13752 3936 ? Ss Jul31 0:00 /usr/bin/php5-cg
OR use pidof command which is use to find the process ID of a running program:
# pidof lighttpdOutput:
3486
Step #2: kill process using PID (process id)
Above command tell you PID (3486) of lighttpd process. Now kill process using this PID:
# kill 3486
OR
# kill -9 3486
Where,
* -9 is special Kill signal, which will kill the process.
