... could be, LaserGRBL can do this - http://lasergrbl.com/en/

I'm using a derivate firmware called Marlin4Due on my controllers - it's controlled by G-code and will "wait" until the next codes will be sent ... regardless how long the pause is.

The other part is the software on the computer - here I'm using a modified Pronterface, which, when started, can either reset/reference the firmware or only send G-codes, so it would continue ...
