I recommend you to use a command line arguments management system like "minimist" for example.

You can use this in your json : "start": "electron . --srv=server.com --prt=112 --arg3=myarg3"

In your main.js you can use this :

var args = require('minimist')(process.argv);

console.log(args)

and you can use your args in the main javascript file.

For the Package, you can do the same thing but in the shortcut, by adding myapp.exe --srv=server.com --prt=112 --arg3=myarg3
