Re: Free memory from unused processes

Hi:

> Dennis: All you can tell if it shows in ps(1), is he's not dead, Jim. :-)

While I'm sure you weren't addressing me :-) I would add that zombies show in 'ps' as "defunct". Of course, they don't have any user or kernel space allocated, and they are doomed to await their Grim Reaper.

Regards!
