[Gate-users] Continue Gate or Geant4 Program after close the terminal

[Mery MB]

Dear Andreas

I am working directly with cluster with linux terminal and it is working
but it did not start from the last particles..
My program was running for 5 * 10 to power of 8 particles and then the
terminal was closed accidentally so I have to use continues script.
When I typed it, the program start from the beginning and do not continue
from 5 * 10 to power of 8!!!
