No problem, if you run monit as root you can still start programs as  
another user. Simply use the 'as uid and gid'  sub-statements to  
start, stop and exec. For example

  check process tomcat with pidfile /var/run/tomcat.pid
        start program = "/etc/init.d/tomcat start"
              as uid nobody and gid nobody
        stop program  = "/etc/init.d/tomcat stop"
              # You can also use id numbers instead and write:
              as uid 99 and with gid 99
        if failed port 8080 then alert
