We have a continuously running process, written in C, that connects to an
ORACLE database, performs a set of tasks, disconnects, and then sleeps a
while using the Solaris C sleep function. No special accommodations are
made for sleep. The machine is filling up with <defunct> processes as a
result of this code!
Doea anyone have any ideas why the <defunct> processes are created and how
to prevent them from birthing?
