=> 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 ?

If you use containers with health checks (including with curl), you need to tell docker (or podman) to provide an init process to reap child processes. For docker that means providing --init when running a container. It's a pretty common problem.
