The existence of a zombie is not that strange; it's unusual, but not
unheard of. This could be a bug. You can file a report
(<http://bugreport.apple.com>) or try to reproduce it and then file a
report.
yes i will do this.
You can determine the parent process's id by something like "ps -oppid
-aux", and the first column of the output will contain the process's
parent's pid.
PPID is 0 ;)
with you command i have just see that i also have
0 root 8000 0.0 0.0 0 0 con- Z 1Jan70
0:00.00
(X11)
(i have used X11 today)
Odd. I have one too:
ksh$ ps alx | grep Z
UID PID PPID CPU PRI NI VSZ RSS WCHAN STAT TT TIME
COMMAND
0 509 0 0 0 0 0 0 - Z con- 0:00.00
(scselect)
Just a hunch, but I'd guess that the real PPID isn't zero. I'd say ps is
reading a struct which has been nulled, and there's another copy of the
real PPID elsewhere. UTSL...
