Try this.
Do a ps -aef|grep (your PID#)
# ps -aef |grep 13647
# ps -aef |grep (parent PID#) To find the process that possibly spawned your process "gzip -c".
If it has a parent PID. a process that spawned this process, then you should try to kill that process.
Keep trying to find the parent in this manner until you find the true parent. Then you should be able to kill this PID as well.

rwsnoop(1m) USER COMMANDS rwsnoop(1m)
NAME
rwsnoop - snoop read/write events. Uses DTrace.
SYNOPSIS
rwsnoop [-jPtvZ] [-n name] [-p PID]
DESCRIPTION
This is measuring reads and writes at the application level. This matches the syscalls read, write, pread and pwrite.
Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.

-j print project ID
-P print parent process ID
-t print timestamp, us
-v print time, string
-Z print zone ID
-n name
process name to track
-p PID PID to track

TIMESTR
time, string
ZONE zone ID
PROJ project ID
UID user ID
PID process ID
PPID parent process ID
CMD command name for the process
D direction, Read or Write
BYTES total bytes during sample
FILE filename, if file based. Reads and writes that are not file based, for example with sockets, will print "<unknown>" as the file-
name.
DOCUMENTATION
See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver-
bose descriptions explaining the output.

rwsnoop will run forever until Ctrl-C is hit.
