I have a script that looks runs several other scripts in turn. I use
this script to startup several FastCGI processes. This is the script:
##########
#!/bin/bash
find /var/www/fastcgi/scripts/ -type f -execdir '{}' 2>&1 1>/dev/null \;
return $?
##########
I then have the following crontab entry for root:
@reboot /path/to/boot_cgi_bin.sh
Every time I reboot my server, this boot_cgi_bin.sh script turns into
a zombie (the cgi bins do get started). Does anyone see a reason why
this script would hang up as a zombie process?
