Description Dries Michiels freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-07-07 10:16:04 UTC 
When my cron script forces the rotate of the audit trail file by audit -n.
A zombie process is created.

root@vados:~ # service auditd status
auditd is running as pid 15967.

root@vados:~ # audit -n
Trigger sent.

64 processes:  1 running, 62 sleeping, 1 zombie

root@vados:~ # service auditd stop
Trigger sent.

root@vados:~ # service auditd start
Starting auditd.

63 processes:  1 running, 62 sleeping

So it seems to keep running but creates one zombie after "audit -n".
