ragnarok 27977 25824  0 Oct07 pts/0    00:00:00 [xterm] <defunct>

im running debian testing.
is a issue from my trigger command or from xterm that does not close
gracefully?

Actually, it looks like sync-engine makes no attempt to clear up these processes. Could you please file a bug in sourceforge to remind me, this will need fixing. It shouldn't do any harm though, the zombies will be cleared up when sync engine exits.

Will investigate this one. I don't remember seeing zombies when I first
tested the autosync function.
