Waiting for key press after Plink finishes executing remote command

I am using Plink to execute commands on remote computer. For example: 

plink.exe -l login -pw password net stop spooler

Is it possible to do that after executing this command, Plink window will wait for my reaction (for example pressing button on keyboard)?

Run the Plink from a batch file (e.g. execute_command.bat) and add pause command:

@echo off
plink.exe -l login -pw password hostname net stop spooler
pause

Or you can do the same using cmd.exe, without using a separate batch file:

cmd.exe /C plink.exe -l login -pw password hostname net stop spooler & pause

Or you can use a server-side pause-like command on Plink command-line.

From your use of net stop, I assume the server is Windows, so again, you can use pause:

plink.exe -l login -pw password hostname "net stop spooler & pause"
