I had a similar problem and I will confess that I really didn't get a
handle on what script was running as what user and all that but I
seemed to have a problem with my /etc.init.d/mythbackend script. It
worked ok when entered at a command line but monit didn't seem to like
it. I changed the first couple of lines from
##############################################################################
#! /bin/sh
to
#! /bin/sh
##############################################################################
and it seemed to be happier. It may be that I changed something else
at the same time that actually did fix it, but its working great now.
