Xuyong,

I’d try the e format option to look at the parent pid.

‘pidin -f abeNpJB’ should do it and the parent pid is under the ppid column.

These zombies often happen if you are starting/stopping threads and not reaping them (ie removing the zombies they leave behind) or not creating the thread as detached.
