Configuration files are made to specify general parameters (like list of 
architectures,
path of cache file, etc...). .ben files are not considered as 
configuration files.

You may try the following to make the example work:

   ben monitor /usr/share/doc/ben/examples/monitor/ocaml.ben

Here is an example of a configuration file :
