So how does oracle come to know the names of the smon process, like in a default 
installtion, it will be, ora_smon_orcl815, how does oracle come to know this name; 
also if this process is goes down, how does oracle come to know that smon is down, can 
I find this smon name in some initialization parameter eg or can i find from some 
other source, what is the smon process name?

also how do I  find out how to find process name for smon eg?
