uxmon leaves behind sar zombies on shutdown
Brought to you by:

When uxmon is shut down it leaves behind sar zombies if
- any check using 'sar' is active
- the 'sar' command is available
(should apply to e.g. Solaris and HP/UX)
More generally: During shutdown uxmon *must* kill any
child processes and give them a chance to gracefully
close before their parent quits.

this happens on Linux too and is a very dangerous "feature"

Ok, new-style monitors consistently kill&wait any pending
child process while shutting down.
