hi,
so we are speaking about real zombies which cannot be stopped?
for all others, there should be way (a kind of "fixing"
or even "killing" watchdog process maybe) to keep the
machine clean without rebooting, right?
IMHO sometimes it really makes sense to restart some
trouble-making application frequently as a bug-workaround,
especially when you are not the programmer and don't even have
the sourcecode available. but booting the whole box looks a little bit
exaggerated, right?
