Hi Jess, thankyou for replying.
Before reading your reply I did stop and start the batch a few times and after stopping the batch the defunct processes clear up and disappear. Restarting batch is as before wth no PID and all the zombie processes etc...
I have also upgraded to 11.9.0 and I did re run all the config files and this time not using the answer file and retyping all the data in. Same thing and kaltura batch do not start and zombies etc... as before.
I must admit I was so fedup I runned yum remove "kaltura" ...
Again this was a fully working installation and no modification of any kind has been made to the server prior to the upgrade that created the batch problem.
Thanks anyway
