zombie process |
|
| Description | A computer program that appears to be "alive", even after it has been "killed". On UNIX systems, one way to quit a misbehaving program is to use the "kill" command. However, in some rare cases, the program may not be removed from the list of running programs. In this case, the program process is called a zombie process. |
