Zombie processes


Thought I'd share this with you all, it made me laugh.

Yeah, but the way it's written, they've purposely left off words like "process", so you get "a child has died", and "Orphan processes don't become zombie processes; instead, they are adopted by init, which waits on its children."

Seemed funny to me.
