I want to kill a respawn service by using upstart. when I use "htop" command to monitor system,I observe a process "/123.lock". when I kill it via "kill" command,it restart again. how could I kill it via upstart to kill this process totally? best regards.

This is likely some kind of malware or trojan.

I have just had the same process appear (this morning !) on a quite recently installed Fedora server, along with another executable /init.lock . Found these while trying to figure what was eating my cpu - and I doubt these files are legit.

I "chmod -x" 'd both of them after killing their processes (that'll stop it respawning in your case). Will remove them when I've found out how they got there.
