Hi Rajesh

Sure I will help. But just onerequest, if you have any query in Linux, you can raise it to my forum:

http://www.shankysportal.com/forum
 

We can identify the Zombieprocess using its stat as “Z”. So I have written a little script as below

 

#!/usr/bin/ksh

#find the zombie process

ps aux|grep Z

# to get the process id

getPID=$(ps aux|awk '$8=="Z" {print $0}'|tr -s " "":"|cut -d ":" -f 2)

print "The process Id of Zombie process : $getPID";

But it gives only the processId. Now I need more info on requirement from you.

If you want this as alert to urmailbox, it can be done.

Please reply for further help.

 

Regards

Hi Rajesh

Try this and let me know:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
#find the zombie process
ps aux|awk '$8=="Z" {print $0}'>zombieMail.txt
# to get the process id
getPID=$(ps aux|awk '$8=="Z" {print $0}'|tr -s " "":"|cut -d ":" -f 2)
print "The process Id of Zombie process : $getPID";
#send this info to a mailbox
 
mail -s 'All zombie process list' [url=mailto:[email protected][color=#0000ff][email protected]<zombieMail.txt[/url]
