just like with any loop. flag condition.

code:

exit when flag


and when you no longer need the loop running, you set the flag variable to true and that will terminate the loop

Are you sure you should be forking a process from inside the loop? And is Time.Date even a process?

exit, return, all works. Just make sure you have a flag, turn it true, and then exit or return.

Exit is for loops, return is for the whole procedure/process.
