how to find the dead processes

"ps" command or what is your exact problem?

Thank you.I use 'ps aux' to find the dead process,and the 'S' column of the output indicates the status of the process,but I can not find which letter indicates the 'dead' status.Could you tell me?

[Ralf Puchner]

what means "dead"? If process is within a system routine it is most likely in uninterruptable mode.

The 'dead' process I mentioned means 'zombie' process.Thank you.

DEFUNC is the correct information within the ps waux output.
