    Zombie processes are hilarious. They are the unkillable package delivery person of the Linux system. They have some data that must be delivered before they can die. Before they are allowed to die.

    Sometimes just listening to them is all they want. (Strace or redirect their output anywhere.)

    Sometimes, the whole village has to burn. (Reboot)
