That's the right way to stop it. If you want to make sure it stopped, check the server log, which is usually log/server.log under the AOLserver install directory. AOLserver will wait for activity to subside, including background threads, so it can take a little while for AOLserver to actually terminate in response to a kill; the out-of-the-box delay is around a minute. If you run AOLserver from init or daemontools, they'll start up a new copy right away, which will leave the address/port bound, so make sure you've commented out the line in the inittab, or done whatever magic is required for daemontools.
