I have a defunct process (13130) that won't respond to kill -9. It's parent (13127) appears to be an old script running rsh. I have a few questions on this.
1. Is it a potential security risk (beyond the fact that it's not a secure shell) to have an rsh process open for that long? 2. How dangerous is it to delete the /proc/13130 directory? I'd like to avoid a reboot if possible. 3. Will the defunct process resolve itself it I can kill it's parent 13127?
