I am a beginner at Oracle and would like to know if there is anyway for the SMON process to be stopped on a Win2000 Server. When trying through Oracle Enterprise Manager Console it tells me that it is not a user session and fails to kill it.
This is Oracle 9i 32-bit on Win2000 and any tips would be greatly appreciated..
Cheers

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I am aware that it may bring down the database. I need this only for a test but need to specifically kill that background process. Is it possible to kill the background process and have the database continue to run even if it is only for 30 seconds?
I am doing this on a test system of course and don't care if I have to completely uninstall/reinstall if it messing something up so badly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

SMON is one of the 5 mandatory processes.
IF you killed it it would bring down the instance.
On Windows, the oracle processes are threaded together as one services so you cannot kill just one of the processes. You can on UNIX though.
