thankyou martin I think I've cracked it now (the hard way)

monit appeared to be interested only in '/etc/init.d/<whatever> start' so I created the script /etc/init.d/stream and the command '/etc/init.d/stream start' worked. I now have monit working and auto-restarting the ffmpeg process when it (often) goes down. Now I just have to tweak it so monit checks the process more than once a minute.

For the love of god stop top posting.

I was half asleep when I wrote my previous email. You syntax is wrong, that's probably why it was acting weird.
Example from my config.

  check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid
    start program "/monit/daemonStart.sh sshd" with timeout 95 seconds
