Do you know what I just read in the UNIX textbook?

When a process dies, its parent picks up the chid's exit status from the process table and frees the process table entry. However, when the parent doesn’t wait (but is still alive), the child turns into a zombie. A zombie is a harmless dead child that reserves the process table slot. You can't kill a zombie."

Fuck how scary!
