Zombies are indicative of more serious issues.

Argent can delete Zombies for you but you need to get to the root cause.

First some background.

Captivating as its name is, a Zombie process is one that has terminated, but its entry is still in the process table, taking up a process ID number.

More Zombies = More Wasted Process IDs

Under a heavily loaded Linux server, a system can eventually run out of unallocated process ID numbers.

Use the Argent Rule SCP_ LINUX_MAX_ZOMBIE_PROCS to test for Zombies.
