I just noticed some zombie processes on CentOS 6.8(Final), tried to kill them but they are still there:
[root@host user]# ps -ef | grep git
tomcat 746 1 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:00 git clone https://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git -b v1.3.20 --progress . --depth 1
tomcat 747 746 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:00 [git-remote-http] <defunct>
root 20776 20669 0 09:03 pts/3 00:00:00 grep git
tomcat 29970 1 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:00 git clone https://github.com/components/jqueryui.git -b 1.12.0 --progress . --depth 1
tomcat 29971 29970 0 Jul18 ? 00:00:00 [git-remote-http] <defunct>
[root@host user]# kill 746 747 29970 29971

As you can see they are running for two months, and too if they are not harmful I would get rid of them, any alternative way to kill thema Zombie?
