I'm not sure what exactly the limitations of the console version are,
but it should be perfectly fine for your purposes.

You might need to specify the number of render threads manually, or
might not get to limit file output to whitelisted directories, or stuff
like that, and of course you won't get a preview display. But the
processing of .ini and .pov files is fully functional (except maybe
shellout commands).

There isn't any magic to it. Just pass the name of the .ini file as a
command line parameter.
