Hello,

Here's a brief summary of my system:

FreeBSD 4.7
PHP 4.3.0
Qmail 1.3
vmailmgr
courier-imap
daemontools

Anyway, I have this zombie process that's related to daemontools but I
don't know how to get rid of it.

example:

root     632  440  p0  I     9:40AM   0:00.00 /bin/sh /command/svscanboot
root          456  p0  S     9:40AM   0:00.01 svscan /service
root     872  288  p0  S     9:40AM   0:00.03 readproctitle service errors:
root     884  380  p0  S     9:40AM   0:00.14 supervise supervise
root       0    0  p0  Z     9:43AM   0:00.00  (supervise)

svscanboot reads:

#!/bin/sh
# WARNING: This file was auto-generated. Do not edit!

PATH=/command:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin

exec </dev/null
exec >/dev/null
exec 2>/dev/null

/command/svc -dx /service/* /service/*/log

env - PATH=$PATH svscan /service 2>&1 | \
env - PATH=$PATH readproctitle service errors: .........


Any help or insight would be great, thanks in advance.
