#  Make an array of the aforementioned eye candy... 
integer n=${#Indicators[@]}
integer i=0

#  While condition exists, present status to screen... 
while [[ -f bpc.txt ]] 2>/dev/null #true
do
   clear 
#   print -n -- "Running ... \n\t${Indicators[i]}\n"
   print "Running ... \n\t${Indicators[i]}\r"
   ((i=(i+1)%n))
#  sleep 1
#  clear
done

Note that you'd want to modify the condition that drives the while... loop.
