Hi,

is it possible to pause a render and than restart it at the same position
like it is possible in the Win9x-version of PovRay?

Thanks,

Jan

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.

You can stop povray with ctrl-c and later continue the same render by
giving the +C command line option.
