There is a process that needs to be killed, I tried to kill пид and kill -9 пид , but the process is not killed, what should I do?

In fact, two options are possible:

  1. This "unkillable process is a zombie. The status is" z ". It is impossible to kill him, because he is already dead, you have to find a parent and restart it.

  2. This process is monitored by another process (most likely by the parent) and immediately restarted when it is killed. Again - kill the parent. And then - the process itself.
