Feature request: improve (repeated) TensorBoard startup

After starting up VS Code, I regularly start up TensorBoard. Two things are annoying that do not need to be:

1. The prompt for the log directory could be omitted if the log directory could be remembered (or even better, configured similar to python.pythonPath).
2. The process could be made persistent*. I have a large log-file directory, and initial parsing takes several minutes until all data are available. I would not mind a TensorBoard process sticking around (and being reused) after closing (and restarting) VS Code.

(*) I usually do this from Python using

with open(log_file, "w") as stdout:
    proc = subprocess.Popen(argv, stdout=stdout, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

Oh yes, my apologies. Just created a discussion thread for that here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/discussions/15658

Thanks! Is a persistent process covered someplace else, or is that off the table for now?
