infinite loop that is possible to quit

[Emanuel Berg <moasenwood@xxxxxxx>]

How do I do an infinite loop that runs something, but it will
still be possible to quit the whole thing?

The best thing I've come up with is

while true; do
  # run program
  sleep 1
done

Then do, say, q to exit the program, and C-c during the sleep
period to quit the loop!

Is this good or bad?

TIA
