    Hello all,

    I have a process that is running and has a <defunct> child that is
    locking up a tape drive. I can not kill the parent or child to unlock
    the drive. Any suggestions on how to kill the parent process. I have
    used kill -9 and tried the carious kill SIG. I am at a loss and would
    rather kill the process than reboot the server to clear this up. This is
    on a solaris 8 machine.

    Thank You

    Will McCorkle
