>what do 'zombies' means?
I don't know the fully definition of them, so the answer of "process which 
have ended but have not been cleared fully from the process table" might 
not be a fully correct answer...

>how can i kill them?
Find the parent process, and kill it or restart it.

Hope that helps,
John
