In Sublime Text 2 how can I pass the current file path to a command called by a key binding

I'm working with sublime text 2 build 2221, on Windows 8; python 2.7.

I want to pass the name of the file I'm currently working on in st2 to a command by calling a key binding like this:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+2"],"command": "run_me", "args":{"cmd":"$1"} }

where "$1" gets replaced with the name of the file in the current view, i.e. the file I'm looking at when hitting the keys. How would I go about this?

My script for run_me looks like this:

class runMeCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self, **kwargs):
        cmd_string = kwargs["cmd"]
        os.system("start "+cmd_string)

I found the following references here and here which seem to talk about this but I couldn't get it to work.

Relevant quotes from the links:

Link 1:
...
"args": {
      "contents": "console.log('=== HEARTBEAT $TM_FILENAME [$TM_LINE_NUMBER] ===');${0}"
...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Link 2:
$TM_FILENAME    Filename of the file being edited including extension.

This seems to be the way to do it (HT @skuroda):

class runMeCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self, **kwargs):
        try:
            if "$file_name" in kwargs["cmd"]:
                cur_view = self.window.active_view()
                cmd_string=kwargs["cmd"].replace("$file_name",cur_view.file_name())
                os.system("start "+cmd_string)
            else:
                os.system("start "+cmd_string)
        except TypeError:
            sublime.message_dialog("Something went wrong with the command given... \n\n\n"+traceback.format_exc())

And the key binding looks like this:

{ "keys": ["alt+shift+3"],"command": "run_me", "args":{"cmd":"echo $file_name"} }

If the runMe class will always only get one argument only there is no need to use **kwargs:

def run(self, cmd):
    try:
        if "$file_name" in cmd:
            cur_view = self.window.active_view()
            cmd_string=cmd.replace("$file_name",cur_view.file_name())
            os.system("start "+cmd_string)
        else:
            cmd_string=cmd
            os.system("start "+cmd_string)
    except TypeError:
        sublime.message_dialog("Something went wrong with the command given... \n\n\n"+traceback.format_exc())

The key binding would be the same as above.
