killing zombie threads
I have an app server running on Redhat 4.0. There are about 30 processes spawned (all by the same user). When the DB goes down before the app server, it leaves them all running, but they're zombies. The app utility can't shut them down even when the DB comes back up. I've killed them from the command line (kill -9 ####), but there are 3 boxes and that's a lot of killing
Is there a way to kill all threads for a user? I'm thinking a shell script, but my grep skills are weak.
Anyone feel like giving it a shot?

Dear All,
I have checked so many post about killing Zombie process.
Most of the cases, everyone suggested to "reboot" the system, as "kill -9/-15 zombie" may not work!
My concern is:
If the system is a Production server then what to do?
