hi once again i am clear abt my ques???? so i repeat... i have to kill zombie process which is hanging around in process listing. but i am not able to kill it(means kill 9 23234 is not wrking). i need to do it becoz somewhere its not allowing me to start the same type of application again.
In repeat my answer again. A zombie process is just a process table entry and a process which is dead quite some time ago. so $ kill -9 $pid will not work.
You need to fix the badly written application. Fix the disease and not the symptom.
