      I recently added zombie process monitoring and we've got 7 zombie git processes as children of the main Jenkins process.

      $ ps -eo state,pid,ppid,stime,cmd | grep -E ^Z
Z  1513  1449 10:32 [git] <defunct>
Z  1514  1449 10:32 [git] <defunct>
Z  1515  1449 10:32 [git] <defunct>
Z  1517  1449 10:32 [git] <defunct>
Z  1531  1449 10:32 [git] <defunct>
Z  1560  1449 10:32 [git] <defunct>
Z  1561  1449 10:32 [git] <defunct>
$ ps -o state,pid,ppid,stime,cmd -p 1449

      They perhaps were caused by restarting Jenkins (from the update manager) while polling was happening.
