when zombie process fully cleared?

Answer Posted / ajit mohan b

Do a ps and identify the zombie processes

# ps -el | grep 'Z'


Occasionally, these processes are in such a state that the
only way to get rid of them is to reboot to clear them.

In most cases, you can get rid of a zombie by normal means,
"kill -15 zombie PPID", "kill -9 zombie PPID".
