Thanks a lot for the reply. Since I did a clean FC3 install last night ;) all the zombie processes are gone for now. I tried looking through
PS -A
before but I didn't find anything I could kill; but the next time I will definitely try the 'ax' modifier.
Thanks again and yes, that was exactly what I was looking for. But I thought there might be more _elegant_ solution like 'killuser' or something else of that sort.
