ikill's Issues

1.5.0 only reports zombie process

I installed 1.5.0 and every time I run ikill instead of seeing a drop down list of processes I just see a message about a zombie process (where the process ID is different) every time.

$ ikill
Error: Process 21336 is zombie

I'm using macOS.

Doesn't kill the process

👋🏻

Just wanted to share that I've tried this a couple of ways and it appears to not kill the process.

NOTE: I'm running macOS.

The following is a quick screen recording to show what I'm doing...

Even though I select the process to kill it stays present.

Thanks.
