I fully agree with you.

I am a SAP admin.

As far as SAP is concerned, to manage the service, the procedure is
to issue sidadm user and start commands with different arguments
from this shell user.

I am not saying that it is the best way to do :-)
I am just saying it is the way SAP works on all its Unix OS.
This is why it is convenient to use su even if it has drawbacks.

On the other hand saying stop using su on your start/stop script
is a limitation that I also find too strong.

Anyway thanks for all the ones who provided help and provided alternatives.
I have not yet tested runuser and EnvironmentFile...

Regards,
