(Scary title, is not it?)
After watching some MPGs with the Linux binary-only mtvp (graphics/mtv
port) I noticed 40 zomby processes:
68278 p1 Z 0:00,00 (mtvp)
68279 p1 Z 0:00,00 (mtvp)
68280 p1 Z 0:00,00 (mtvp)
68281 p1 Z 0:00,00 (mtvp)
68283 p1 Z 0:00,00 (mtvp)
68284 p1 Z 0:00,00 (mtvp)
68285 p1 Z 0:00,00 (mtvp)
In all of them, init is already a parent:
root@aldan:~ (220) ps -alwwx | grep 68256
105 68256 1 0 96 0 0 0 - Z p1 0:00,00 (mtvp)
0 98924 5659 0 96 0 308 44 - M+ p4 0:00,00 grep 68256
root@aldan:~ (221) ps -alwwx | grep 68276
105 68276 1 0 96 0 0 0 - Z p1 0:00,00 (mtvp)
0 98930 5659 2 -8 0 1200 166 piperd S+ p4 0:00,01 grep 68276
root@aldan:~ (222) kill -1 1
root@aldan:~ (223) ps -alwwx | grep 68276
105 68276 1 0 96 0 0 0 - Z p1 0:00,00 (mtvp)
0 98934 5659 0 96 0 1704 231 - RV p4 0:00,00 grep 68276 (csh)
What's going on? Also, file(1) calls them SYSV, rather than Linux
binaries, but that may well be correct. Yours,
