zombie_fail
-----------
Locates the task in the servers list of zombies, and sets to fail.
Next time a child command (init,event,meter,label,abort,complete) which matches zombie, communicates with the server, will be set to fail.
Depending on the job setup this may force a abort, the abort will also fail.
Hence job structure should use 'set -e' in the error trapping functions to prevent
infinite recursion.
The references to the zombie in the server is automatically deleted after 1 hour
args = list of task paths, at least one expected
--zombie_fail=/path/to/task /path/to/task2
The client reads in the following environment variables. These are read by user and child command

|----------|----------|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
* The host and port must be specified in order for the client to communicate with the server, this can
