If you already have properly working monit with other services and just need to add delayed_job daemon for rvm environment you can try to use this conf file (it works for me)

/etc/monit/conf.d/delayed_job.conf (i have ubuntu server)

check process delayed_job with pidfile /{project_folder}/tmp/pids/delayed_job.pid
start program = "RAILS_ENV=production rvm -S /{project_folder}/script/delayed_job start"
stop program = "RAILS_ENV=production rvm -S /{project_folder}/script/delayed_job stop"

Here rvm -S command let script run under current rvm ruby environment

You can try to start daemon with

$ RAILS_ENV=production rvm -S /{project_folder}/script/delayed_job start

command and if daemon will start (check it with changing last word to 'status') than you have good chances with delayed_job.conf file

And do not forget to check if pid file had created in tmp/pids/ folder too
