Hi, I'm learning elasticsearch and trying to run multiple nodes or 2 services of elasticsearch. the both work smoothly but the both use the same config file even I already point the another one to use different config file.

this is the output of node info:

as you can see above (the gist link) :

```
"config.ignore_system_properties": "true",
"config": "/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch1.yml",

```

but it seems the node ignores /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch1.yml file and keep using /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml.

/etc/init.d/elasticsearch1

and please take a look for these code/output:

I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS
