How to set miner threads outside geth console

Question

Every time I have to set miner threads, I do it inside the geth console using the following command:

miner.start(1)

Is there a way to set miner threads outside geth console?

Answer 1

Yes, you can set the miner threads outside geth console on command prompt by using it as an argument for geth. 

$ geth <usual-flags> --mine --minerthreads=1
