Duplicate Process IDs in a Kernel Zone and Its Global Zone

The global zone and each kernel zone manage their own process ID space. The same numeric process ID might identify different system processes in the global zone and in one or more kernel zones.

For example, on the same system you can have the numeric process 5678 running syslogd on the global zone and running sendmail on a kernel zone. To kill process 5678 with the ps command in kzone1, type the zlogin command followed by the kill command.

global$ pfbash zlogin kzone1 kill 5678
