/etc/cron.daily/9999zombie doesn't work on Debian systems

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
- Description updated (diff)
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 :)
- Priority changed from Normal to Low
Nothing urgent, releasing for the public, some task for volunteers to get involved IMHO
- Tags EasyHack, Salt added
- Assignee deleted (

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)
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Assignee set to Guilhem Moulin
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
