I have a question regarding /proc I have a zombie process which has apparently died for some unknown reason.. I know it was terminated by a signal (found that from the 9th field (sheduler flags) in /proc/pid/stat) However, I'm trying to figure out what signal killed it. Also, it would be nice if /proc could show what the exit status of a dead process is.. seems strange that it doesn't contain that information (or am I just not seeing it in there). Any info would be helpful.. thanks, Davy
