Try kill -9 <pid> sometimes kill doesn't work. When in doubt -9 it :) Works everytime. CTRL+Z simply puts it into the background.
I try in order:
kill <pid> kill -2 <pid> kill -15 <pid> kill -9 <pid>
However this would not kill a DEFUNCT process. Anyone got an idea on how to do this?
AFAIK a defunct (zombied) process cannot be killed. It can only be removed from the process table by rebooting.
