Hm, I'm not able to reproduce this, but here are a few pointers
1. check program myscript with path "/usr/bash /etc/monit.d/script_to_run.sh"
This is currently not allowed, the path must only contain the full path to your
script without any arguments.
2. Instead of doing Monit reload, do a Monit quit and start again.
3. Make sure that the user running Monit has permission to execute the script
