Do I get you right that you want to start JOSM all the time with your
predefined setting ?

If yes, I already wrote replace the settings with your predefined after
exit.

I do not your operating system but the script should be like this:

* start JOSM
* (after exit) remove JOSM preference folder
* copy your predefined preference folder in place

Only thing you should do from time to time is to replace your predefined
folder with an up to date preference folder because the preference
slightly changes sometimes.

There are variables for java and there even exist some for JOSM itself.

- is for java
-- for JOSM

Start JOSM in a console/terminal like:

java -jar .../josm-tested --help

to get some small info.


Hope that helps
