Not sure if this will help, but you can launch Jupyter with `ipython notebook` at the command line (then select Julia kernels). If you make sure to `File -> Close and Halt` your notebooks (instead of just closing the tabs), they won't take up memory (it kills the process).
As far as I know, Ctrl-C Ctrl-C is still the official way of closing Jupyter, but I don't think I've ever had an issue where Jupyter itself took up too much memory. But I did have instances (with lots of plots) where Firefox held on to my RAM after closing the notebooks. Which process takes up memory in your case?
