Here..
In UNIX every parent process is responsible for cleaning up after his child processes. As when process is done, its parent process removes it from the system properly and clean its data structure. Sometimes parent process is getting killed or terminated before his child process ends. In such case child process has to be terminated by INIT process. Unfortunately it not always does it clean or perfect.
Zombie processes aren't the real, because there's is no "process" in the execution queue and only some data structure still persist. If they are few just disregard them, as zombi is a normal phase (undesirable but normal) of process's lifetime. If there are many, the only real way to get rid of them is to reboot the system The command "kill", even with -9 wouldn't help as process had been eliminated already. Get "UNIX Essentials and UNIX Core" DVD as it explains stuff like that. Hope it helps. |
