Zombies

[Wilson (picard)]

Hi,

Can anyone suggest why ps shows these zombie processes:

root     30070  0.0  0.0  2868   32 ?        S    Sep12   0:03 [rsync]
root     31949  0.0  0.0  2784   32 ?        S    Sep13   0:01 [rsync]

root     12147  0.0  0.0  2288   32 ?        S    Oct03   0:03 [rsync]


I'm running:

picard# rsync --version
rsync version 2.4.1  protocol version 24


thanks,
