Re: Probing for Zombie Processes?


Whatever information I can garner that might be useful in this case. I guess why the parent hasn't called wait4(), if that's even possible to ascertain. I suppose I could determine what state the parent is in. I'm looking at this from the outside before I've dived in like a user would just saying "what the hell is going on here? Can I learn anything about why this is happening?"

Are you trying to find why a process exited, or why its parent hasn't waited?
