Resume a MIDAS session.

## NAME

gomidas - Resume a MIDAS session.

## SYNOPSIS

**gomidas** \[ **-d** *display* \] \[  **-m** *mid\_work* \]

## DESCRIPTION

*gomidas* resumes a previous exited MIDAS session which was saved by  *inmidas* (just before exiting) in a file located in the  *MID\_WORK* directory.

If  *inmidas* was executed in PARALLEL mode there could be several  files containing different MIDAS sessions saved in  *MIDWORK.* In this case,  *gomidas* will read the one associated to its terminal if that file exists, otherwise  it will read the one associated to the latest MIDAS session that exited.

  Specifies another X server for the display and graphical MIDAS windows ( **NOTE:** be aware of allowed access to a remote X server using the [*xhost*(1)](/xhost/1.md) command.)

## ENVIRONMENT

 **NOTE:** Arguments in the  *inmidas* command line are taken with preference to environment variables.
