There is also generic way to terminate any process you want:

snar at router> request system process terminate ?
Possible completions:
  <process-id>         Process ID (1..99999)

(most of them will be restarted automagically).

These processes can be just disabled:

snar at router> show configuration system processes 
jsd disable;
na-grpc-server disable;
