Is there a way to view the startup command used when launching a particular client server session? I’m concerned I’m making a mistake somewhere when I’m mentally reconstructing it from my .pvsc.

I think Mac/Linux might actually open a terminal window when they run the command. That would be sufficient, but I’m on a Windows client.
