Zombie Process showed in TOP.

When I run TOP, it shows me one Zombie process as seen below:

233 processes: 222 sleeping, 10 running, 1 zombie


How to find out and remove this Zombie process. We have HP-UX 11.0

Thanks,
Everyday Learning.

You cannot remove a zombie process...without a reboot.
you could do a ps -ef |grep defunct which would show you what child process has been left running by a since deceased parent.
