Look at While/Wend - Do/Until - For/Next for loops and HotKeySet() in the help file for manually stopping.

sorry, i'm bored enough to do the work for you, but you should still look that stuff up...

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}","IThinkReallyLongFunctionNamesAreFunny")
MsgBox(0,"boredom","The enegergizer bunny keeps going...")
While 1
    MsgBox(0,"boredom","and going...")
WEnd
Func IThinkReallyLongFunctionNamesAreFunny()
    Exit
EndFunc

This should give you a general idea too:

$start = TimerInit()
Dim $diff, $i

While $diff < 5; not run more than 5 secs (approximately;-)
    $i = $i + 1
    $diff = Int(TimerDiff($start) / 1000); we turn this from msecs to seconds
    TrayTip("test", $i, 30)
    Sleep(1000); wait 1000 ms to do the loop (= 1 sec)
