Assuming heartbeat is a proper shell script, try

  exec "/etc/rc.d/init.d/heartbeat stop"

or if you call a shell as in your example, use -C to tell the shell  
to interpret the string as a command line, like so

  exec "/bin/bash -C '/etc/rc.d/init.d/heartbeat stop'"

The technical details here is that monit's exec is a call to the  
systems exec function which does not start a shell but a program. See  
man bash(1) and the built in exec-function which is the same function  
monit uses.
