Thanks to you both for the good info. I'd still love to hear from some
basho folks about good ways to document this.

There is an easier way to do it, by using the advanced config file
(usually /etc/riak/advanced.config )
Here is an example, where I use advanced.config to add a vm_args
configuration fields. So I suppose you could use the same syntax to add
your -env option:
[
{vm_args, [
{'-s my_app', ""},
{'-s my_other_app', ""}
]}
].
Note to Basho people: this is not very well documented (if at all), and
I've seen many people ask about it (be it for vm options, or adding
paths, etc). It might be useful to ad some documentation section about it.
Cheers,

says to add

to vm.args, but I get the sense from
http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/advanced/configs/configuration-files/
that the goal is to avoid vm.args in preference to riak.conf.
My struggle is that I don't see a way to set the epmd port listener via
riak.conf. Is there a way? If not, are the new/latest docs missing a
mention of the correct location for vm.args?
riak.conf is generated by the cuttlefish extension, which apparently
does not have control for environment variables [1], so, I don't
believe there is a way to do this out of the box. However, you could
modify the schema files to add this cuttlefish transformation [2], if
you want to, or you could call the Riak initialization commands with
the EPMD environment variable set.
