What is the function of SMON?

Answer
The SMON background process performs all system monitoring functions on the oracle database.

Each time oracle is re-started, SMON performs a warm start and makes sure that the transactions that were left incomplete at the last shut down are recovered.

SMON performs periodic cleanup of temporary segments that are no longer needed.
