Explain zombie process? |
|
Answer» Zombie process, referred to as a defunct process, is basically a process that is terminated or completed but the whole process control block is not cleaned up from the main memory because it still has an entry in the process table to report to its parent process. It does not consume any of the RESOURCES and is DEAD, but it still exists. It ALSO shows that resources are HELD by process and are not free. |
