From: David Xu <davidxu@freebsd.org> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, mi@aldan.algebra.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/72979: unkillable process(es) stuck in `STOP' state Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 17:10:33 +0800 You should find and kill zoombie process's parent process, if the parent process is also a zoombie, you should find its grandfather, ... it is a UNIX behavior that you can not kill a zoombie process, but should kill its ancestor. I would think that you have encoutered some buggy programs which forgot to recycle its children. David Xu
