Hi,

Why would you want to kill a process in sleeping state?
At a given time only a very few processes are "running", all the rest are "sleeping"...
More precisely what are you trying to achieve? because killing processes can lead to serious issues if you dont know what you are doing...

All the best

If you are sure
Check the PPID and look with ps -ef|grep what the PPID does (other processes attached?..) if safe try to kill -9 both PID and PPID

If that doesnt work there is not much hope (real zombie...)

All the best
