You can't kill a zombie because it already dead. Restaring the prcess will
eliminate them, but if the processes' zombies are not proliferating, they
aren't hurting anything. To see which one is causing the zombie, do:
ps -alx | grep Z
For example, I always have this one:
ageame@sage-one$ ps -alx | grep Z
UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME COMMAND
0 15684 338 0 28 0 0 0 - Z ?? 0:00.00 (apcupsd)
That is caused by my APC daemon, but never increases over the one, so I
just ignore it.
