The only way I see to do this would be to have a simple file holding the count and say date, so for a particular date, you would have count and date. I do not belive there is anyway without the script rewriting itself to increment the count since th script is called from fortran. Not saying you can't do it that way, but believe a simple file and read would be the easiest.
The basic assumption is that it is only you doing the processing and not a number of individuals calling the same script.
