Povray can continue (as someone already pointed out), but you can also
break the render into smaller parts.
But with a Linux box, you shouldn't have to reboot that frequently - so
perhaps the question you ask shouldn't be "how do I pause/resume a
process with a reboot in between" but rather "what's wrong with my system
or my workflow that's causing me to reboot my system so much?"
