I've been having lots of trouble with zombie processes. This has been
happening since I started with Linux (Red Hat 5.0). Sometimes I find I
cannot kill some processes, even when I'm root. I use gitps -p -A to run
the process viewer/killer and sometimes I can't kill a zombie. I also use
the kill -9 command and sometimes that doesn't work. I've also tried the
GNOME and KDE process managers. Even then there are some processes that
are really persistent.
Is there any ultimate process viewer/killer that will terminate erring
processes for sure?
Also, doers anyone have any tips to minimize the occurence of zombie
processes? I admit I run some multimedia stuff and Netscape, which hav a
propensity to crash sometimes.
Thanks in adevance. God bless!
