Olav The fact that the processor does not detect the dead process that was initiated by it does appear to be a bug. Would you mind raising JIRA - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI so we can take a look.

I run a .sh script using ExecuteStreamCommand which usually takes a few minutes. Today, I noticed that the resulting flow had not produced anything for almost a day. Then I checked on my Linux box and saw that the .sh script had been running for almost a day. Something must have been wrong here, so killed the process from the command line. However, the Nifi processor will not stop. I eventually copied and replaced the components of the flow and all is working again, but the Zombie still won’t die in Nifi. I am sure that if I restart the Nifi process, all will be resolved, but thought that you may wish to see this screenshot, and consider if ExecuteStreamCommand could detect the process being killed and then stop running. Here is an image of a portion of the flow – on the left the zombie, and on the right, the copy-pasted components working fine. <image001.png> Thanks!
