    - The above statement is false.

    - The true statement is:

    - The PMON (process monitor) background process cannot terminate shared servers below the value specified by SHARED_SERVERS.

    - Therefore, you can use this parameter to stabilize the load and minimize strain on the system by preventing PMON from terminating and then restarting shared servers because of coincidental fluctuations in load.
