Zombies



I had a few cpio scripts running in background, noticed an error with 
one of my scripts (it was recursive) and tried to stop it.

kill pid# did not work. Somewhere along the way the jobs attained the 
"zombie" status, and kill wouldn't touch them. I finally rebooted.

Can someone explain what a zombie is and how to kill it?

TIA,

Chris
