We have been researching stuck zombie processes in our libvirt lxc containers. What we found was: 1) Each zombie’s parent was pid 1. init which symlinks to systemd. 2) In some cases, the zombies were launched by systemd, in others the zombie was inherited. 3) While the child is in the zombie state, the parent process (systemd) /proc/1/status shows no pending signals. 4) Attaching gdb to

this is my first post and im not a tech wiz so if you need more info just ask (and tell me how to get it)... I installed a new game called Star Sonata... and yes i had the little bug that made it so i couldn't make a keyboard input... i fixed that with Winetricks dinput8.dll... and for a few hours the game ran perfectly... then at a random point it crashed... and i thought it was for no

after booting a CentOS 4.2 system I have a bunch of zombies... root 2828 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 14:41 0:00 [chvt] <defunct> My read from googling this is chvt stems from something that involves a shell. They ***may*** have been created from my attempts to start mysqld which isn't working (I will start another thread) but no efforts to kill them off are working...

Hi, after a while of playing around with winedbg i have a lot of these: bash-2.05b# ps -A 559 pts/0 00:00:01 wine-kthread <defunct> 558 pts/0 00:00:04 wine-kthread <defunct> 607 pts/0 00:00:01 wine-kthread <defunct> 606 pts/0 00:00:04 wine-kthread <defunct> i tried differend variations on kill, and killall, but they don't go away. Any ideas? Regards,

Hi there, I am using libvirt with lxc to create fedora 16 & 18 containers on fedora 18 host. first I did the setup with libvirt 1.0.3 and everything worked fine, then after upgrading to libvirt 1.0.4, I could not create character device on the guests : Test on the guest1 : # ls -l /dev total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 Apr 17 21:18 console -> /dev/pts/0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 11

We have an issue with our Asterisk install where Asterisk produces many Zombie processes (on the order of several hundred per minute) until either the Asterisk server is restarted (and the zombies die a natural death), or the kernel runs out of PID space (happens within hours) and brings the system to a halt. This problem only happens when the server is under some non-trivial load. We were

I'm monitoring Asterisk with Nagios. Nagios constantly alerts because of too many zombie processes. I eventually had to disable the notification for the alert but why does Asterisk create so many zombie processes, I've see more than 30 at times and it generally stays in the 20s... just seems unusual and wondering if it's harmful, thanks in advance. -------------- next part

Hi, every now and then it seems as if dovecot-auth zombie's out. When this happens nobody can log in. If I kill all the dovecot-auth processes and then restart dovecot everything seems to work again. I'm authenticating against an openldap server on a debian sarge box so I wonder if this has anything to do with it. All my clients are using Outlook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear listers, I'm facing a puzzling situation with Digium TDM2400 card (12 FXO / 12 FXS). Once a day or so we detect 1 or 2 zombie FXO channels. These can be either outbound or inbound calls. I thought this could be related to obsolete DAHDI or Asterisk versions, so I upgraded to 2.4.0 and 1.6.2.15 respectively (OS: Ubuntu 10.04 64 bits). To no avail; the zombie channels keep showing up.

I have a problem that sometimes lines will go into what I call never never land. The Asterisk system will put a line with <Zombi> on it when you type show channels it will make the analog phone line dead. And on the CLI it says: astsvr*CLI>Zap/1-2<ZOMBIE>(macro-twoline-exten,s,1)Up Dial Zap/1-2|20|r I have tried to release it with soft hangup Zap/1 & also soft hangup

Hi- Asterisk (CVS 7/30/03) seems to leave my AGI processes (written in Perl) as "zombies", even though they exit normally with exit(0). I am running Red Hat 9. I tried the same AGI etc with an older CVS (7/1/03) and this does not happen. I think a zombie process is a process that doesn't release some resource (shared memory, etc), so I'm worried about this since I call my AGI

Can you try with this systemd unit file. Restarting does not close all prosesses with that one. ( you need : ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID ) Jessie used probely sysv and not systemd, which should explain why there are so many zombies.
