In the film version they are zombie-like creatures.
I did a little research already about how to kill zombies, and this only
confirms what I found: namely, that there is no easy one-size-fits-all
solution. One has to track them down and kill them and/or their parents.
On one occasion, when I tried to kill dozens of zombie entries marked only w,
I was actually killing the session. This was not a pleasant experience, as I
still had open windows and unfinished work, then discover that I've shut down
everything and lost that work.
Well, like I said, they are annoyances, when I see that I have a lot of zombie
processes, but they aren't actually doing anything either good or bad.

By the way, anybody who has an idea how to kill
off all zombies, I would
be interested. Not that they're really doing anything bad, I guess, but
sometimes I see 36 or 42 zombies, and it's annoying that they don't just
go away by themselves. But that ought to be a separate thread! if I get
around to it.
How do you kill the dead? Kill their master! But as they are not guaranteed
to be stupid kind of undead that die when their master is gone your milage
may vary. killing lord vlad might help, but real kombies don't care :)
