Thanks Adam,
Looks like I missed the "--extents" command line somehow. I'll give that a try.

I'm not sure whether you mean you want to load QGIS with a project showing a
particular location, or whether QGIS is already running and you want to use a
command line to zoom the already running QGIS to that location.

If you are loading a new QGIS instance it looks like --extent will open it with
a specific view?
I'm not familiar enough with it to know what values to pass, but if you get the
view how you want it then create a new spatial bookmark (on the View menu) and
then look at the properties of that, it will show you the extents. They appear
to be lat/long if that's what your CRS uses. If not, you might have to change
the project CRS to one that uses lat/long.
Note that I haven't tested this and I'm new to QGIS myself, so my apologies if
this turns out to be incorrect.
Cheers,
Adam.
