I am trying to use automator to run a shell script using mono to launch an app.
mono /Applications/MYAPP.app/Contents/MacOS/runme.exe
The above works fine in the terminal, but inputing it through automator throws up the error that mono is not a recognised command and therefore fails to run as expected.
Any suggestions?

I think it is best practise to use:
cd /Users/yourhomefolder/yourworkfolder
MONO=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/mono
nohup $MONO ./yourbinary.exe >~/yourbinary.out.log 2>~/yourbinary.err.log &
exit 0
I think it is best practise to use:
cd /Users/yourhomefolder/yourworkfolder
MONO=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/mono
nohup $MONO ./yourbinary.exe >~/yourbinary.out.log 2>~/yourbinary.err.log &
exit 0
If mono is not in your default search path, you will have to explicitly use its current, explicit path in your Run Shell Script. In the Script Selector, use Bash.
These are the ONLY directories searched by Automator run shell script
| export PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin |
You either have to modify PATH or specify /the/full/path/to/mono
