What problem does it solve?
Detects zombie (defunct) processes on a VPS and reaps them by terminating their parent processes, helping free PID table entries and improve responsiveness.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scan for zombie processes and identify their parent processes to understand what's holding zombies.
- Kill parent processes holding zombies to reap the zombies, skipping init/systemd and avoiding the tool's own process tree.
- Install cron-based monitoring to automatically detect zombies and generate alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
Quick Start
Run zombie-killer.sh scan to detect zombies, then run zombie-killer.sh kill to reap them, or install cron monitoring with zombie-killer.sh install-cron.
