In grunt 0.4 combined with grunt-contrib-connect you can run a long running server by using the keepalive argument: grunt connect:target:keepalive or define it as an option in your config:

grunt.initConfig({
  connect: {
        target:{
            options: {
                port: 9001,
                keepalive: true
            }
        }
    }
});
