I have a simulation that is running and it takes about 6 hours to do so. Is it possible to pause it while it is running and continue running it later?
I know I can use the 'pause' command in my code, but I am looking for something I can do while the code is running. I know CTRL-c will kill the code, so I don't want to do that. I just want to stop it temporarily.

Are you using GUIDE or some GUI? Maybe you can setup a keypress event
to pause the process (you'd have to check for that at key locations in
your code.) Often what I do is to have a checkbox that says "Finish
Now." Even if some code is running, it will still let me click on
that checkbox. Then in my code, at the bottom of the loop, I can
check to see if that checkbox is checked. If it is, I break out of
the loop. Maybe something like that can help you - have a checkbox
labeled "Pause". Maybe if it's checked you can just set up a timer
and periodically check the checkbox again and continue with the loop
once they've toggled the checkbox back to it's "run/not paused" state.

A pause GUI is an excellent idea! Thank you very much!
