The easiest way would simply be to set PATH inside the startup script.

Our operators use something like the following in the startup scripts:

    su <product_user> -c "<product_control> $1"

i.e. inside the starup script, the product's control script
is run with the rights of the product's user.

It is not the administrators that are responsible for the product's
control script but the product's maintainer. He can make whatever
initialization is necessary for his product...
