Hi, I've got monit running on a linux vserver, installed in a custom location

/home/user/bin/monit

as that is the only suitable location according to the webhost providers. When I installed monit I used ./configure --prefix=/home/user

Monit itself runs, and sends me emails of it's activity, and the control file syntax is correct. However, monit cannot seem to start or stop anything - or even run the simplest of scripts. eg. Using 'monit stop all', I try to run the following stop command

stop = "/bin/bash /home/user/simple_script.sh"

Which fails (and says so in the log). I cant figure out why this is failing, can anyone help with this?
