Nermin,

That's a hard question to answer without knowing more about "a program".
If it was written to "read, compute, write, cycle back", you could
probably start it up again at will. On the other hand, if it was one
long plug & chug (say, looking for the 30 millionth digit of pi), chalk
it up to an object lesson in the value of an UPS and start over at the
beginning.
