Is it possible to not spawn the many processes as phantoms? Let them run as main processes? If there is any communications that need to be passed back and forth, use a table. Of course this assumes you won't have a problem with user seats. This is the approach I've used but my main processes are short lived. Probably no more than a dozen at any given moment in time.

We have a job that runs as a phantom that spawns many phantom processes. When these many phantom processes die, they are leaving behind a <defunct> process. This is cause when the phantom process attempts to notify the process that started it that they are complete. Since they were started by a phantom, there is no process to notify. I've run into this before, but I don't' remember how we resolved it. I got my solution from this user list, and I'm hoping that someone can refresh my memory. Thanks in advance.
