In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the

-init.d script), from /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf and finally from the
+environment, from /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf and finally from the
built-in default values. For example, for the B<RABBITMQ_NODENAME> setting,
B<RABBITMQ_NODENAME>
