According to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16944886/how-to-kill-zombie-process
In order to clean a zombie process I should kill its parent.
In my case the parent is PID 1 (init). Which according to: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/7441/can-root-kill-init-process
can't be killed. (even if it could be killed, I'm not sure it's such a good idea)
root@localhost:~# ps -ef | grep bcmrm
root 16772 30829 0 22:47 pts/8 00:00:00 grep bcmrm
root 21272 1 0 Jan26 ? 00:00:02 [bcmrm] <defunct>
What are my options? And why didn't init process cleaned it up?
Thanks,
