I've Got 'Night Of The Living Dead' On My Homelab Server

=> There are 90 zombie processes.

On one of my Homelab servers running Ubuntu Jammy, I always seem to get zombie processes. A quick check with `ps -eo pid,ppid,stat,cmd | grep -w Z` shows them all <defunct>. It just bugs me. I shut down the server in the most nicest of ways I know how with `sudo shutdown -h now` but I always get zombie processes shown on start up.

Am I missing something? Do these show up on your servers? How do you deal with them besides just ignoring them if they are <defunct>?
