    It looks like the mon-cmd is looking for the binaries path in /home/ubuntu instead of /.

    Can you show how you set the EC2_HOME environmental variable? You an run something like env |grep EC2.

    I have mine set like:

    export EC2_HOME=~/ec2

    I suspect you have it set similarly, but you probably want it set to / (i.e., export EC2_HOME=/) or something similar.

    You may need to add /usr/local/aws/bin to your PATH, additionally.

  2. It's not EC2_PATH. Do this:

    $ export EC2_HOME=/usr/local/aws
$ export PATH=$PATH:$EC2_HOME/bin

    Then, with your private key and certificate:

    $ export EC2_PRIVATE_KEY=~/.ec2/pk-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.pem 
$ export EC2_CERT=~/.ec2/cert-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.pem

    Change X and Y for your respectives.
