I am looking for a way to create a zombie process
I am writing a paper that, among other things, talks about detecting zombie processes. I find that, due to my systematic hunting down and eliminating of these processes, I no longer have any hanging around for demonstration purposes. How embarassing - I don't know how to create one! Is there anyone who can give me a simple program or set of commands that creates a zombie process? Thanks in advance. -- -> See: Info-Sec Heaven at URL http://all.net Management Analytics - 216-686-0090 - PO Box 1480, Hudson, OH 44236

Here, public domain. #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { if (!fork()) { /* Child; die. */ exit(0); } else { /* Child dies, is zombie for ten seconds. */ sleep(10); /* Reap it. */ wait(); /* Now no zombie. */ sleep(10); exit(0); } } -- Shields.

wait(NULL); would be saner. - Ian
