I've got hundreds of these bogging down my machine: bradyh 28812 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar22 0:00 [sh <defunct>] bradyh 28813 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar22 0:00 [sh <defunct>] bradyh 28814 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar22 0:00 [sh <defunct>] bradyh 28815 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar22 0:00 [sh <defunct>] bradyh 28816 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar22 0:00 [sh <defunct>] bradyh 28817 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar22 0:00 [sh <defunct>] bradyh 28818 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z Mar22 0:00 [sh <defunct>] ... Is there any way to get rid of them aside from rebooting? No form of kill seems to work on them. Thanks, Brady
