the sys.argv[] stuff does NOT register. Only the

 This is VERY annoying ! Seriously limits flexibility.
 Any clues ???
 COULD hard-wire directories and such ... but that's
really not so great.

I have looked at how "spamd" is started. It is a Perl script.
[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/spamd.pid
ExecStartPre=/bin/bash -c "sa-update || true"
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/spamd
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/spamd $SPAMD_ARGS -r /run/spamd.pid
ExecReload=/usr/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
No quotes.
You can look at more examples in your system.
