  ```

  3 zombie processes found.
  PID	COMMAND

  ```
  
  
  -cpviewd(15338)-+-dbget(3698)
          |             |                |-dbget(5558)
          |             |                |-dbget(9208)
          |             |                |-dbget(10854)

          |             |                `-dbget(31290)
