After much research.. 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

Start the process under the observation of strace.

Wish I could.. but it's already happened (to a lot of processes for the
same reason)
It's an intermittant problem and can't really reproduce it at will.
I've redeployed the binary now so I can hopefully attach to it with gdb
to figure out some things next time it does happen.
