I want to kill zombie process, but with using kill 9 i
cannot kill that process? can u tell other commands?

Answer Posted / kapil agrawal

I don't believe you can kill zombie process with `kill -9
<pid>`. Zombie process are considered dead. And, you will
have to kill the parent process of the zombie process to
kill the zombie.
use ps -ef| grep "Z" command and ppid of Z process
