=> There are 90 zombie processes.
On one of my Homelab servers running Ubuntu Jammy, I always seem to get zombie processes. A quick check with ps -eo pid,ppid,stat,cmd | grep -w Z shows them all <defunct>. It just bugs me. I shut down the server in the most nicest of ways I know how with sudo shutdown -h now but I always get zombie processes shown on start up.
Am I missing something? Do these show up on your servers? How do you deal with them besides just ignoring them if they are <defunct>?
I’ve never run into a situation where it’s a problem. But I just checked one of my Ubuntu servers and don’t have any. What were the processes doing? What do they belong to?
@BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml @frongt@lemmy.zip Most of them are from [curl] but one is from [health.sh]. I am assuming one of the docker containers uses
curlin it’s processes as I have not initiated anycurlcommands.What is their parent process?
