A zombie process or defunct process is a process that
has completed execution but still has an entry in the
process table.
When a process ends, all of the memory and
resources associated with it are deallocated so they can be
used by other processes. However, the process's entry in
the process table remains. The parent can read the child's
exit status by executing the wait system call, at which
stage the zombie is removed. The wait call may be
executed in sequential code, but it is commonly executed in
a handler for the SIGCHLD signal, which the parent
receives whenever a child has died.After the zombie is
removed, its process ID and entry in the process table can
then be reused. However, if a parent fails to call
wait, the zombie will be left in the process table.
Answer
# Do a ps and identify the zombie processes
# ps -el | grep 'Z'
Occasionally, these processes are in such a state
that the
only way to get rid of them is to reboot to clear
them.
In most cases, you can get rid of a zombie by
normal means,
"kill -15 zombie PPID", "kill -9 zombie PPID".

Zombie process or defunct process is a process that has
completed execution but still has an entry in the process
table. This entry is still being needed to allow the process
that started the zombie process to read its exit status.
Zombies can be identified in the output from the ps command
by the presence of a "Z" in the STAT column. Use kill -9 or
kill -15 to remove zombie process.
Zombie is not same as orphan process. An orphan process is a
process that is still executing, but whose parent has died.
They do not become zombie processes; instead, they are
adopted by init (process ID 1), which waits on its children.
