I believe that should be possible by setting up a target file:

http://www.codesourcery.com/public/qmtest/qm-snapshot/qm/test/doc/html/sec-qmtest-concepts.html#sec-targets

and then use that with the 'qmtest run' command.
I'm not sure what you are referring to as 'argument list' here. Arguments
to what command ?
