    Hi All,

    Is there any tool which can monitior the Zombie process on my AIX servers and alert me.
    The idea behind this is not to have any zombie process which might consume resources on my machine, which is not justfied.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Ajit

    Yes. Take a look at Nagios http://www.nagios.org/
    It has a plug-in architecture and one of the standard plugins you can run on AIX is called check_procs. Among other things it will detect and alert based on zombie processes.
