# Where <serviceName> refers to the 'vmsvc' and 'vmusr',
# <variableName> refers to the name of the environment
# variable to be removed. '=' sign after <variableName>
# is mandatory to maintain the configuration file syntax.
# However, anything after '=' is ignored.
#
# Case-sensitive behavior is defined by the operating system.
