Stop Powershell from exiting

Question

I know that there is that little -noexit switch for PowerShell.

Is there anyway of staying in the shell without using that switch?

In other words, I want a script command(s) that executes then leaves the shell open.

Answer 1

This script will not exit if you run it without arguments, e.g. by double-clicking on it:

param($Work)

# restart PowerShell with -noexit, the same script, and 1
if (!$Work) {
    powershell -noexit -file $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path 1
    return
}

# now the script does something
# this script just outputs this:
'I am not exiting'
