Hi Ian,
currently I've got exactly 65 of these zombies (bluesies).
Until now I've found absolutely NO WAY to get rid of them.
And, believe me, I really tried everything documented.
And, btw, ovtopofix -r (undocumented) did not help either.
Running NetView 5.1.1 / Framework 3.6 / AIX 4.2.1.0.
Any (new) hints welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Cordially, Ralph.
