I want to launch Bitcoin core connecting to a specific list of peers. I can do this using connect:
bitcoind -connect=<IP1> -connect=<IP2>
Is there a way I can put the peers I want to connect to into a file and give this file to bitcoind as input?

Within the data directory for your coin (/dir/for/yourcoin/.yourcoin) you will have a configuration file. Within this configuration file, you will want to place the line connect=IP ADDRESS:PORT
This will make your client automatically attempt to establish a connection with the node(s) you specify.
Example: within myaltcoin.conf place the line connect=192.168.49.50:9332 Obviously just substitute your desired IP address and port.
You can put them in the bitcoin.conf file, but I'm guessing that's not what you mean. Simply multiple lines with: connect=IP – Jannes – 2018-06-13T10:49:48.270
@Jannes "put them in the bitcoin.conf file" -- why not? Will the effect be as described? – Sergei Tikhomirov – 2018-06-13T11:03:02.590
Yeah it will work fine. I was just assuming you were getting some computer generated dynamic list from somewhere. – Jannes – 2018-06-14T01:02:26.070
