I know some, that's one.
It gives you the PID. Pstree does not show pids.

It does what it's told to do, and if you don't tell it to do so then it
will go by the defaults, which is to not tell.

Or Ijust can't see them.

man pstree will help with that[0].


[0] as a hint, look a the option '-p' :)

Thanks a lot!
Till today I've always let the zombies be.

I haven't had many, though.

Now I had one, it turned out to be transcode.

Thanks again :)
