Server Watch and Plink Zombie?

[captain_trips]

In Server Watch there is an option to detect plink zombies. If a use this feature it says that plink zombies were found and asks if I want to kill them.

What exactly is a plink zombie and should I kill them on our server or leave them alone.

Hi,

plink zombie means there is an instance of plink running that is not used by ServerWatch.

PLink.exe is used to get ssh access to the Server. This is used if you use SSH to access the Logfile. If you Startup ServerWatch a new instance of Plink is started up and so it comunicates with the Server. If ServerWatch is going down correctly that program is shut down automaticly but if it ServerWatch chrashes it happens that there is still an plink task if you startup ServerWatch. And that is what ServerWatch asks:
Man there is an instance of plink running that is no mine. Should i kill it ?

Normaly you can say yes without any problems.
