How to run Terrariaserver.exe with config file?

[Jawbone220]

Am coming from Linux where I could run ./TerrariaServer.bin.x86_64 -config serverconfig.txt

How do I do this natively on windows with TShock? The server runs fine but I am trying to automate it selecting the correct world and setting the basic parameters like player number, port etc. Was also looking for a startserver.bat as the Wiki says but didn't find it.

Then how can I automate windows10 running this each time on boot so server starts each time?

Thanks!

Alternatively, I also have docker for windows if this would be easier to run it in a container (still trying to figure that part out, however. Just installed docker engine last night)

startserver.bat exists in the default terraria installation (at least when downloaded via steam)

https://terraria.gamepedia.com/Server#Command_line_parameters here's information about params that could be passed in via a .bat file or a shortcut.

My config starts the server with a particular world on a certain port. The below text exists in a .bat file, and I just execute the batch file any time I want to run the server. C:\Users\User\Desktop\tshock1.4.0.4pre8\TerrariaServer.exe -port 7778 -world "C:\Users\User\My Documents\My Games\Terraria\Worlds\WorldName.wld" -killinactivesocket

@Jonth4th You don't rename. It's called command-line argument.

then where do I write it? in serverconfig.txt?
I've done that but if I start TerrariaServer.exe it just starts with no configurations.

Google it. Also note that there is no TerrariaServer, the executable was called TShock.Server since TShock v5.x.
