I dont think the above will give you what you are looking for, why not.?
ps -al | grep UID returns
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD
Note there is no "STAT" field
Your example will work when ps is given -a first for the headers and to
exclude the output of grep itself (your example will always return one line
from grep -Z) , use;
ps -a | grep PID ; ps -aux | grep -v grep | grep Z
No return means then No Zombies.
But why use ps anyway with all the pipes and quotes, just type "top".
On its second line of output it tells you everything you need to know about
running processes including zombies.
If one does not want a screen full of output from top use;
top -n1 | head -n2
Thats all.
Of course the idea is very nice indeed, just the options choosen do not show
you what you think.
