Greetings, I have a quick question. Is there a way to monitor defunct processes with Xymon.

Yes.

Please let me know if there is a script for this.

The Debian/Ubuntu package "hobbit-plugins" (https://packages.debian.org/hobbit-plugins) contains such a test.

It's integrated in the package's "misc" check which runs simplified subchecks.

See the following files for the source code:
