STLink Command Line - connect & stay connected?

Is there a way to get the STLink Command Line utility to connect to the target and stay connected?

If I issue the -C (Connect) command, it does connect - but then immediately disconnects & exits back to the Windows command prompt.

How do I get it to

stay

connected - so that I can enter further commands interactively?

Is it possible?

Hi,

- The [HOTPLUG] option allows to connect to the target without halt or reset.

For more details, refer to the

in the ''STM32 ST-LINK utility command line interface (CLI)'' section.

Sorry, that's not what I was asking at all.

I'm talking about having the Command-Line interface remain connected to the target.

But ST Support confirms this is not possible: the CLI will just execute one command, and then disconnect form the Target.

But they did add:

you can chain the commands in the same command line and add -pause in between to request user to proceed for next command.

I haven't tried that - I managed to achieve what I want using OpenOCD ...
