What's the issue running it under sudo. You can add an entry to your sudo file to only allow the bbs user the permission to open mystic as sudo, deny everything else. You can set it up so you don't even need to enter a password and then tie this to a systemd script.

This is how I do it.

.... My software never has bugs. It just develops random features...
