Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi I ran top, and suddenly I saw: 321 processes: 1 running, 24 sleeping, 1 stopped, 295 zombie AW! Why all those zombie's? I still see processes from some days ago in ps auxww, is a reboot the only method? (And won't it occur again?) The box is running 3.0R and is a 486 with 40MB's of ram.
