Hi Mark, Thanks for the response. For mainly related to our Thingworx IOT-based application, we are using the Tomcat 9.0.62 server. So for that, we are getting zombie or defunct processes.
"Please provide the steps you used to recreate this issue in a clean installation of a standalone Tomcat instance." -> So for this, We have executed our installer, which itself installs the Tomcat server. So, there are no manual steps that we ask the user to execute. As per the previous response, "A default Tomcat install does not create parent and child processes, so zombie processes cannot occur." -> So we have raised a support case with Tomcat to just understand the reason why defunct processes are created. Is anybody already raised case similar to defunct or related to zombie processes. If yes, can you please share which resolution you have provided to them to prevent creation of those. Thanks, Omkar V. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> Sent: Friday, January 5, 2024 6:00 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: Regarding Tomcat is creating the zombie processes [You don't often get email from ma...@apache.org. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] You will need to provide more details. A default Tomcat install does not create parent and child processes so zombie processes cannot occur. I'll also note that zombie process do not consume system resources (apart from a process ID). Please provide the steps you used to recreate this issue in a clean installation of a standalone Tomcat instance.
