Sure.

That is what I was saying is a bad idea. The UT2k4 process is not a vital process and should not be started via the init scripts.
It's vital for me The server runs only ut2k4 servers and a vsftpd, nothing else is installed or started.

Much better to add it to an unprivileged user's crontab. It will still start at boot time but it won't be seen as a vital system service.
The start-stop-daemon starts the ut2004 server as a unprivileged user ("games")
