Some days ago, when trying to use mi moodle server I got a message saying that database was not working. I run /etc/init.d/mysql status and found that mysql was dead, so i restarted it with /etc/init.d/mysql restart
Two days ago I’ve sent a mail to a mail list and I’ve seen that I’ve not received the mail from the list as usual, so I’ve figured some was wrong. /etc/init.d/mailman status have said mailman was dead, and restarting it has launched queued mails.
I’m wondering if may be some other services also dead. I’ve run top and it sais 0 zombies. It means there is no other process dead or may be more?
Sounds like you’re not actually asking about dead processes (Processes die regularly and naturally all the time).
You’re actually asking about listing services and their state.
2 Ways I’d Recommend
The traditional way, just open up YAST > Services. I prefer the Advanced View.
Now that openSUSE 12.3 and later support system implementation of services, <generally> all can be inspected using systemd commands. Note that there can still be services configured using legacy init scripts which are not managed by systemd units. The following command should list all “stopped” services.

zombies are listed, dead processes are not.
