Hi all,
first I have to thank all guys who has replayed to me...then...
"Lee Hughes" <lhughes_at_anitesystems.co.uk> said
_at__at_
_at__at_ ... To get rid of zombies I *reboot* ...
_at__at_
me too!!! :))))....but now
"Robert L. McMillin" <rlm_at_syseca-us.com> (that I specially thank) said
_at__at_ Well, you ought to find the parent of these zombies. 'ps -ef | grep
_at__at_ 20300' would give you that info, at least, for pid 20300. One of two
_at__at_ things is likely: either the parent is sleeping or it's improperly
_at__at_ harvesting its zombie children (i.e., failing to wait for them). As to
_at__at_ getting rid of zombies, the only thing you could really do to force
_at__at_ their deletion is to kill the parent process and restart it, unless you
_at__at_ have the source code.
...God bless you!!!!...it works fine!!! :)))
_at__at_ [root] # ps -ef | grep defunct
_at__at_ www 22461 23163 0.0 - ?? 0:00.00 <defunct>

_at__at_ root 16176 17062 0.0 13:36:21 lat/624 0:00.01 grep defunct
with -ef first numb after username is the pid, the second is the ppid...
...thanks to all.
