I've got this process that is defunct. I ran kill 7690 as root and nothing happens. Tried kill -l 7690, nothing. Here's my line:
tom-linux:/home/tom # ps aux | grep " Z " tom 7690 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 08:59 0:00 [netstat] <defunct> root 7835 0.0 0.1 3544 572 pts/1 S 09:34 0:00 grep Z tom-linux:/home/tom # kill -l 7690 bash: kill: 7690: invalid signal specification
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks, Tom
Killing them does not lead to success. Kill their parent until init inherit= =20 them and they will go to the deserved rest.

Just don't kill the parent if the parent is INIT. That would be bad. :-)
