Ahh; cool :)
Am I correct in understanding the help message that this does not actually 
standardise the argument filename?

If so; please consider making the argument optional (with a good default 
value).  This is needed since otherwise the original problem is still 
unsolved. (different software tools writing different env-files, and 
effectively not seeing the agent that another tool started)
If the argument is already optional; then this is exactly what I was 
thinking about.

So the feature was added a month before I asked for it :)  You guys are 
amazing!

Thanks.

ps. I'm not subscribed to the list anymore.  I hope this post comes 
through..
