Description
/etc/cron.daily/9999zombie doesn't work on Debian systems, as the landscape package doesn't exist
A different approach for detecting need for zombie kill is required

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7039520/bash-how-to-detect-whether-apt-get-requires-a-reboot: Use checkrestart from debian-goodies or check for /var/run/reboot-required.

As for zombies, this should do:
ps auxw | grep defunct
And for killing them (not tried, out of my head):
ps auxw | grep defunct | awk {'print $5'} | xargs kill -9

My bad:
ps auxw | grep defunct | awk {'print $5'} | -> then ps xal | grep for that, then kill -9 what ps xal yields (or somesuch :)

Nothing urgent, releasing for the public, some task for volunteers to get involved IMHO

Releasing that into the general public queue - not critical at all, and a nice EasyHack indeed, as zombie detection can also be done by different means (landscape-common is not available on Debian, at least not from the default repos)
