I have a process or two that are listed as <defunct> and are owned by init.
It was my understanding that these types of processes would get init as their
parent, and periodically init would scan its children and remove the defunct
ones. These processes seem to be hanging around. They don't respond to kill
signals at all (I sent kill -$i where i was 1-15) and they are still there.
Can I signal init to tell it to cleanup its children?
