Description W. Michael Petullo 2012-06-10 22:00:31 UTC 
Xterm has a -hold command line option. This causes xterm to remain running even after the command it runs exits. For example,

    xterm -hold -e ls

will continue to display the directory listing after ls exits.

Gnome-terminal may be configured to behave this way by loading a profile. However, it is convenient when writing scripts to be able to set this behavior from the command line.
