Re: dead process

Rambo,

sometimes top displays a process which is in the process of dying. There is nothing you can do about that and it is a normal part of process' life. Create,exist,die,vanish.
Depending on how busy the system is it may take longer to disappear.

greeings,

Re: dead process

Hi,

I think top utility displays the "zombie" (defunct) processes as "dead". "Getting rid of defunct processes" topic in this forum has some info on the subject.
