How to get rid of Zombies in !GNU !Linux? Should I use the kill -9 shotgun or is there some better tool, like a flamethrower or so?

I have bad news, even kill -9 can't kill a zombie (you can't kill what is dead). His father must wait for him and it won't go until that.

@asqueadospress: the good news is Zombies don't do anything and aren't bad until you look at them
-
There's an old saying stating that when you see a zombie you must kill its family.

@arnebab kill -9 worked for me yesterday, 7 zombie (perl) process in one server :O
-
@asqueadospress Just kill the parent. In KDE, if a process is not killed in the first attempt, then you have an option to force kill it.
-
@rajitsingh @asqueadospress ah, that’s logical. Thanks! (parent has to wait for the child)
-
@arnebab And once again, its the parent process that must be killed. A zombie (child) cannot be killed.
-
@rajitsingh that’s what I understood. The logic is what I like: The parent has to wait, so the child cannot really die while parent lives.
