I observed a defuct (zombie) process.
$ ps -ef|grep defunct
root 27565 27437 234 Jun 14 ttypa 31788:23
sksonkar 26774 26050 0 21:42:59 ttyp7 0:00 grep defunct
How to find out which application or program caused this zombie process ?
Is there a way to kill this process ?
Thanks,
Shiv

Re: zombie process
It does not look like a zombie, I hope you can kill it.
In order to see its parent look at PID=27437 and its parents.

Re: zombie process
I'd like to see parents of PID=27402, but it looks like you have a login session on /dev/ttypa and the defunct process has been ran from it.
Did you try to kill it from the parent session ? What about kill -9 ?
