With my current es 5.2 cluster, I set many configs by command line option '-E' syntax,  
such as

```auto
-Enode.master=false 
-Ecluster.name=xxx 
-Epath.logs=yyy 
-Epath.repo=kkk 
-Ebootstrap.memory_locak=true
-Expack.security.enabled=false
...

```

But in ES 6.x document, I can't find any mention about that option.  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/settings.html)

`-Econfig=zzz` **systax is still supported in ES 6.x**?

Yes, still supported, and it is mentioned here in the docs: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/zip-targz.html#zip-targz-configuring](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/zip-targz.html#zip-targz-configuring)
