UV 10.0.16 (Information) HP-UX 11i We have a permanently-running phantom, which needs to periodically start another phantom, with both phantoms running independently. When the 2nd phantom stops, that process becomes a zombie until the original phantom stops (which is preferably just about never). As these zombies mount up, we get to the situation where the id associated with the phantom can't run processes or even login until the zombies are cleared (by stopping the first phantom). Our work-around is to stop and restart the first phantom weekly, but we really don't want to have to do this. It's no good just running the BP of the second phantom, because then the first phantom pauses until the second phantom stops.
Is there a better way of one phantom launching another without the zombie problem ??
