Well the consensus on this one is that it can't be done. I'll have to get
the company that wrote the software to come up with a solution to stop the
creation of the defunct processes, oh what fun that's going to be!
thanks to everyone who replied.
Original question:
I am running a third party appliction on Solaris 2.6. Some of the processes
from this application are creating defunct processes. I know one way to kill
these defunct processes is to kill the parent process, but I was wondering
if there is any way of killing the defunct processes without killing the
parent.
