How to stop or pause the script?

[bladerunner11]

How do I use a F11 key to stop or pause my script without killing the processor under the windows task manager? Or is there a build-in function (keyboard key) that allows me to stop the script?

I am using a while loop to check my log files.

Here is an example:

while 1

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my post.

-Thanks in advance.
