There is a better way than running the files sequentially. You can use
the animation feature. Here is a snipit of code from an ini file.
Input_File_Name = animate_.pov
Output_File_Name = animate_
Initial_Frame = 0
Final_Frame = 999999
Subset_Start_Frame = 0
Subset_End_Frame = 20501
/* I like to use an underscore between the name and the numbers for
readability. */
"Input_File_Name" calls your PovRay master file (which #includes your
series of pov files"
"Output_File_Name" is the base name of the rendered files.
"Initial_Frame": Your start frame number. (Keep it 0)
"Final_Frame" : Any number bigger than your largest frame number.
"Subset_Start_Frame": Where you want to start rendering from.
"Subset_End_Frame": Where you want to stop rendering.
You don't need to use an ini file. You can use command line options.
This method works for me.
