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

Answer Posted / venkat

Zombie :
This is the dead process. We can not kill this directly this
process. Since zombie is the child process created by some
parent process.
so sometimes parent process will leave it for future
process. So need to send SIGCHILD signal to parent process
to kill zombie.

command:

" kill -s SIGCHLD <ppid> " ; ppid --> parent process id.

From this way we can kill zombie processes.
