Monit and /etc/environment

I have RAILS_ENV='production' variable set in /etc/environment, and simple bash script 

#!/bin/bash
printenv

In monit config I check if this script is running.(it's for testing purposes only, as there is no process like this, monit should try to start it with:

start program = "/home/deploy/www/laptophits/current/bin/importer")

I get error in monit logs: 

[UTC Sep  3 09:31:50] error    : 'importer' failed to start (exit status 0) -- /home/deploy/www/laptophits/current/bin/importer: MONIT_DATE=Sun, 03 Sep 2017 09:31:20
MONIT_HOST=localhost
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
PWD=/
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
MONIT_PROCESS_PID=-1
MONIT_EVENT=Started
MONIT_PROCESS_MEM

So it looks like this bash script runs with just some simple monit variables. How can I make it to run with /etc/variables and/or user variables?

To load the /etc/environment variable within monit you have to use source /etc/environment

eg;

  start program = "/bin/bash -c 'source /etc/environment && cd /srv/<project>/current && /usr/local/rbenv/shims/bundle exec sidekiq -d -L log/sidekiq.log -C config/sidekiq.yml -e production'" as uid 1000 and gid 1000

This will load both the users environment and the /etc/environment file.

You can run your command as:

start program = "/bin/bash -c '/home/deploy/www/laptophits/current/bin/importer'" as uid **username** and gid **group**

the shell will load the user's environment.
