Thanks for the info. Ok, I did it. Sorry for the wait, I was on the phone for an hour trying to figure some other shit out.
The PPID's of the defuncts (when I check them against the PID column) end up being "httpd" processes, as expected as they are all caused by webserver hits (and some via cronjobs). So this is where I get lost with the parent/child thing... Please explain what how this works when there is no parent.
