=> There are 90 zombie processes.

On one of my Homelab servers running Ubuntu Jammy, I always seem to get zombie processes. A quick check with ps -eo pid,ppid,stat,cmd | grep -w Z shows them all . It just bugs me. I shut down the server in the most nicest of ways I know how with sudo shutdown -h now but I always get zombie processes shown on start up.

Am I missing something? Do these show up on your servers? How do you deal with them besides just ignoring them if they are ?

Zero zombies here. I have a couple of Debian servers and one repeatedly upgraded Ubuntu on noble numbat that I'm too lazy to migrate to Debian. None have zombies.

Do you run a DE? Mine are headless.

    I'm not familiar with the acronym. I'm going to assume Desktop Environment. My servers are all headless as well
