SolutionHowever, you can get the PID from the process table if you grep for the string "defunct"
e.g.
ps -ef|grep defu

Re: Best way to locate and kill a zombie
# ps -ef | grep defu
root 3047 2718 3 Feb 15 ? 0:00
root 9189 969 0 09:39:11 ttyvb 0:00 grep defu
It has actually been a long time since I have seen a zombie. As I remember I thought that I can just kill this "PID"? if not how would I get rid of it?

Re: Best way to locate and kill a zombie
You cannot kill what is already dead.
In the words of John Cleese, from hte pqrrot sketch in Monty Python:
It is an ex-parrot, it has ceased to be, it is no more.
It's DEAD

Re: Best way to locate and kill a zombie
What is the parent process? Do a "ps -ef |grep 2718". I would have expected a zombie to be owned by init (PID 1).
