You can use the command kill to kill defunct processes in Linux without rebooting. To do this, first find the pid (process ID) of the defunct process. Use the command ps –aux | grep defunct to do this.
Once you have identified the pid of the defunct process, use the command kill <pid> to kill it. The pid is a unique identifier for each process, so make sure you use the correct one. If that doesn‘t work, you may need to use the kill –9 command, which will force the process to be killed without giving it a chance to clean up.
To kill a defunct process in Linux without rebooting, you can use the kill command. The command is ‘kill -9 <PID>’, where <PID> is the process ID of the defunct process. You can find the process ID of the defunct process by using the ps command.
