This is a tipical ps aux result on my server Ubuntu 11/64bit:

```
...
redis 22579 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 22:47 0:00 [redis-server]
...
redis 32590 0.0 0.0 35992 2028 ? Sl Nov30 13:17 /opt/redis-server/src/redis-server /opt/redis-server/redis.conf
```

If I kill the process it says that it doesn't exist and after there is a new zombie process. The only solution is to restart the redis server.
How can I fix this problem?
