First of all he is doing some things wrong:
1. the data directory has to be on the path starting domino. Thus it is 
not sufficient to
cd /notesdatadirectory
su notesuser /opt/lotus/bin/server

you'll have to
su - notesuser
export PATH=$PATH:/notesdatadirectory
/opt/lotus/bin/server


2. you should put /opt/lotus/bin into the path too:
su - notesuser
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/lotus/bin:/notesdatadirectory
server

If you want a special notes.ini being worked on, you might start domino 
using
server =/fullpathtoyournotesini/notes.ini

But even giving notes.ini in this way you should set your PATH pointing to 
the used notes.ini.

There are two scripts written to start domino:

on from SuSE, one from me. You might want to use them instead reinventing 
the wheel.
