Hello

i am little bit confused.Please help me out...

If we kill PMON---->Instance crashed---->Alert log content
LGWR (ospid: 9764960): terminating the instance due to error 472
Instance terminated by LGWR, pid = 9764960

If we kill SMON---->Instance crashed---->Alert log content
PMON (ospid: 13041666): terminating the instance due to error 474
Instance terminated by PMON, pid = 13041666
