Different environment in initscripts?

If I give this command as root, from the prompt
su - oracle --command "srvctl stop instance -d prod -i prod1 -o immediate"
it works as expected, no problem.

If I use it in an initscript, it will give the error: prod1 wrong instance 
name.  Obviously, there's something wrong with the environment.  But 
shouldn't it be the same, specifically the login environment of the oracle 
user?  Isn't su - oracle supposed to do that?  What is different for 
initscripts at shutdown?

Also, for RAC, if I give /etc/init.d/init.crs stop at the prompt, it goes down 
almost immediately.

Observing the server while it reboots I have noticed that the CRS shutdown is 
much slower, and it leaves two ons processes running.  How can the difference 
be explained?

Thanks
