=> There are 90 zombie processes.
On one of my Homelab servers running Ubuntu Jammy, I always seem to get zombie processes. A quick check with ps -eo pid,ppid,stat,cmd | grep -w Z shows them all <defunct>. It just bugs me. I shut down the server in the most nicest of ways I know how with sudo shutdown -h now but I always get zombie processes shown on start up.
Am I missing something? Do these show up on your servers? How do you deal with them besides just ignoring them if they are <defunct>?
@BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml @frongt@lemmy.zip Most of them are from [curl] but one is from [health.sh]. I am assuming one of the docker containers uses
curlin it’s processes as I have not initiated anycurlcommands.What is their parent process?
Lots of these: Zombie PID: 230650 | Parent PID: 7791 | Parent Name: spawn-unnamed
Two of those: Zombie PID: 61072 | Parent PID: 7791 | Parent Name: bash
Lots of these: Zombie PID: 56798 | Parent PID: 7791 | Parent Name: health.sh
Lots of these: Zombie PID: 16761 | Parent PID: 7646 | Parent Name: curl
…and a box of naked lady tee’s
What is 7791?
7791 7768 201 /usr/sbin/netdata -u netdat 8.8 0.5 01:49:50
Sounds like netdata doing health checks but not always reaping its children. If you can reproduce it, I’d file a bug report.
