Urgent

 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?
