Refreshing a script until prompted

I was hoping someone could advise how to write a for or while loop to refresh a script until prompted to stop.

I have a script that monitors the state of printers and want to have this refresh to the screen every 2 minutes until prompted to stop .... when there is an issue, would like to stop the refresh to fix/research the problem.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
echo "Run your script here. And change the refresh time in sec s below"
sleep 60
done

This will run until you give a Ctrl + c or kill the process
