Oki i get it.
For nobody to sudo with the home directory of serverAdmin : add option 
-H to sudo line like this:
sudo -H -u serverAdmin $command
That way the home dir is changed and so, serverAdmin under nobody have 
the rights on his own home directory and cod2_lnxded launch correctly 
(ouf, i thought i will never get this one).
So it works now
The code is obviously only for one server as the pkill kill all the 
cod2_lnxded process ;)
Another more evolve solution would be to get the correct id another way

Regards and thanks.
