  I quick google gave me this as an option to use

  sudo -u teamspeak ./ts3server_startscript.sh $1
  

  sudo start it as the user you want to run it as.

  link to page I found it on.

  This is in my .sh script now:

  #!bin/sh
  cd /home/teamspeak
  su teamspeak ./ts3server_startscript.sh start &
  

  And it works perfectly

  That probably won't work.

  His start script probably uses relative paths (e.g. ./hl2_srcs) instead of absolute paths (./home/teamspeak/hl2_srcs) so its necessary to cd.
