Garry's Mod servers have custom startup parameters that can be applied to the server.cfg file within the config directory. These startup parameters can help maintain what type of content is seen on the server; with most parameter settings, it is required to run them at the server start, making the server.cfg an ideal place to execute the parameters. This can apply to users who want to turn off Lua refreshes to help reduce server lag or for players who wish to test server settings without adding addons or Steam Workshop files.
