How to monitor delayed_job with monit

Question

Are there any examples on the web of how to monitor delayed_job with Monit?

For Rails 3, you may need set HOME env to make compass work properly, and below config works for me:

check process delayed_job
  with pidfile /home/user/app/shared/pids/delayed_job.pid
  start program = "/bin/sh -c 'cd /home/user/app/current; HOME=/home/user RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job start'"
  stop program  = "/bin/sh -c 'cd /home/user/app/current; HOME=/home/user RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job stop'"
