zombie_remove
-------------

Locates the task in the servers list of zombies, and removes it.
Since a job typically has many child commands (i.e init, complete, event, meter, label, wait, queue)
the zombie may reappear
  args = list of task paths, at least one expected

Usage:

    --zombie_remove=/path/to/task  /path/to/task2

The client considers, for both user and task commands, the following environment variables:

  ECF_HOST <string> [mandatory*]
    The main server hostname; default value is 'localhost'
  ECF_PORT <int> [mandatory*]
    The main server port; default value is '3141'
  ECF_SSL <any> [optional*]
    Enable secure communication between client and server.
  ECF_HOSTFILE <string> [optional]
    File that lists alternate hosts to try, if connection to main host fails
  ECF_HOSTFILE_POLICY <string> [optional]
    The policy ('task' or 'all') to define which commands consider using alternate hosts.

The options marked with (*) must be specified in order for the client to communicate
with the server, either by setting the environment variables or by specifying the
command line options.
