How do you find the parent process of zombie processes? When the child process is something where the parent is not entirely obvious... Is there some way to list processes in tree format or something?

Fix for: How do you find the parent process of a zombie process?

Low Risk

Add the option to your ps command line. This is the option for long output. The parent process id is one of the additional columns -- labeled PPID. Another option is the pstree command to show an ascii tree representation of the processes. You'll probably want the option to show process ids.
