Call with env vars like so:

MM_HOOK=https://your-mm-server.example/hooks/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz \
	MM_CHANNEL=@your_username \
	MM_TEAM_ED=1 \
	MM_ESR=1 \
	mattermost-version-check

But probably best to put them in a "config" file then source it:

(set -a && . ./.mm-vc-env && mattermost-version-check)

You can override the system user account and path to binary with MM_USER and MM_BIN, if you did not use the defaults.
