   zombie_fob
   ----------
   
   Locates the task in the servers list of zombies, and sets to fob.
   This default behaviour of the child commands(label,event,meter) is to fob
   Next time the child commands (init,event,meter,label,abort,complete,wait,queue) communicate
   with the server, they will complete successfully (but without updating the node tree)
   allowing the job to finish.
   The references to the zombie in the server is automatically deleted after 1 hour
     args = list of task paths, at least one expected
     --zombie_fob=/path/to/task1 /path/to/task2
