    Hi,

    Few days back I have seen one query regarding the zombie process. I have
    checked in the summary archive but couldn't find any response there.

    Could anyone help me out. I want to kill the zombie processes, but it is not
    getting killed by the normal options. Is there any way out to kill them.

    Thanks,
    Nathan
