MODERATORS
Linux has at least four levels of decreasing pleasantry: -1, -2, -15, and -9, aka HangUP, INTerrupt, TERMinate and KILL or "Please stop", "Hey! Quit it!", "Stop it! NOW!" and *loud gunshot*.
Sometimes processes will clean up after themselves and leave when asked nicely. Or sternly told off. Of course, if you don't need or want that, load up your, uh, -9 shooter.
To be fair, even in Linux it's really hard to kill a zombie process. You have to tell the parent to own up to their kid, and then kill the parent.
"Stalled I/O" has entered the process list :D
