I have no admin rights so I copied the script to d.mons
with  "#!/bin/sh -x" I get the message

+ test -z /usr/lib/grass
+ '[' setmonitor=x1 '!=' @ARGS_PARSED@ ']'
+ exec g.parser /.../dce.uni-augsburg.de/fs/home/student/s/t/steigeph/bin/d.mons setmonitor=x1 setwidth=1000 setheight=1000
+ test -z /usr/lib/grass
+ '[' @ARGS_PARSED@ '!=' @ARGS_PARSED@ ']'
+ GRASS_WIDTH=1000
+ export GRASS_WIDTH
+ GRASS_HEIGHT=1000
+ export GRASS_HEIGHT
++ d.mon -p
++ sed 's/No monitor currently selected for output//'
+ st1='Currently selected monitor: x1'
++ echo Currently selected monitor: x1
++ cut -d : -f2
+ st2=' x1'
++ echo x1
++ perl -pne 's/^\s+//g'
+ st3=x1
+ '[' -z x1 ']'
+ '[' x1 = x1 ']'
+ d.mon stop=x1

Monitor 'x1' terminated
+ g.message 'Monitor already running and selected'

Monitor already running and selected
+ g.message 'Restarting monitor  size 1000 ...'

Restarting monitor  size 1000 ...
+ sleep 4
+ d.mon start=x1

using default visual which is TrueColor

ncolors: 16777216

Graphics driver [x1] started



and it works!
