title: Leave gnuplot open after executing script
body: <p>I have a bash script that executes gnuplot:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/bin/bash
  # some bash scripting here
  gnuplot -persist &lt;&lt;EOF
  # some gnuplot scripting here
  EOF
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If the script wa executed I return to the usual terminal input. But what I would like to have is that the gnuplot command prompt stays open such that I can enter gnuplot commands in order to further manipulate the plot.</p>
  
  <p>Is that possible?</p>
