Hi managers,

I'm trying to kill 'defunc' process,by giving a signal 9 but it
fails!!

==================================
# ps -ef|egrep 'PPID|defunc'
     UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
  dilipm 28691 1 0 0:00 <defunct>
    root 28582 28388 0 12:11:10 pts/10 0:00 egrep PPID|defunc
====================================
# kill -9 28691
===================================
# ps -ef|egrep 'PPID|defunc'
     UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
  dilipm 28691 1 0 0:00 <defunct>
    root 28586 28388 0 12:11:50 pts/10 0:00 egrep PPID|defunc
