Best options is... don't.

OpenOCD is intended to be a daemon running in the background, why do you
want to stop and restart it every debug session?

For normal code/compile/debug cycles I start OpenOCD when I get to work in
the morning and leave it running the whole day. Flashing is of course
handled using load in GDB. In normal cases OpenOCD wont mind even if you
power cycle or disconnect the target, at least with Cortex-M targets.
