If like W9x you mean keeping the memory allocated and the process present
 (and no reboot!), any decent shell should be able to do it.

Assuming Ctrl-Z is set to susp, and that the render is run in foreground,
then hitting Ctrl-Z on the shell should put povray in a suspended state.

restart in ksh (and some other shells) is usually done with 'fg',
see your shell man page.
