Description

The documentation states that cli params should be substitutable by environment variables

Each option can be set in two ways:

By passing it to the binary using --option_name=value.
By setting the environment variable MESOS_OPTION_NAME (the option name with a MESOS_ prefix added to it).

However at least the master's MESOS_work_dir and slave's "MESOS_master" env vars seem to be ignored:

[root@localhost ~]# echo $MESOS_master
zk://localhost:2181/mesos
[root@localhost ~]# mesos-slave
Missing required option --master
[root@localhost ~]# echo $MESOS_work_dir
/var/lib/mesos
[root@localhost ~]# mesos-master
