That is usually no problem.  I also use "pgrep -f ..." for several
processes which run well with monit 3.0 and in a development
environment with monit cvs.

Why do you combine exec with an & termination.  Why don't you simply
do
         $ORACLE_HOME/ifs1.1/bin/ifsstart
???

That is okay, but if you want to be safe use also -P 1 with pgrep.  It
makes sure that it is a child of init and a detached server.  You
should only have one pid in the pidfile.

How many entries are there?

Be careful with such a timeout statement.  That means if monit
restarts your server once in one cylce that it shouldn't start it
again.  Thus, monitoring is disabled!

Which euid does your monit have?  Does your monit have the permission
to read the pid file (e.g. ACLs)??

Tschüß,
