Hi,

Anyone knows how to list and kill zombie processes
on a server?

I've got 5 zombies at my server, which I think
slow down the server.

Thanks.

ps -aux

once you see the name of the program that is a zombie type

ps -aux | "grep name"

that will give you just the 1 program that is a zombie


or you can just reboot, that probably be better :)
