Is it possible to restart imws from a command line and add a specific imd5 database to be opened.
I don't think it is, but wanted to check....

I'm sure you already tried before posting. The answer is no. IMatch automatically loads the last loaded database at startup (if there is one and the option is enabled).

If .imd5 files are associated with iMatch (i.e. double-clicking on one opens it with iMatch), you should be able to simply use the name of the db on a command line to open iMatch with that database.
Just tried it with iMatch 5.8.4 and it works like a charm. I'm pretty sure it also works with iMatch 2017.
Example batch file:
@echo off
rem --- open database xyz
d:\databases\xyz.imd5
rem --- that's all
