Make a logic inside your script if a certain user touches a file in $SOMEDIR/stop.file the process you started will stop looping and exit gracefully.

This way you can avoid sudo and privilege escalations.

qstop(8B)								PBS								 qstop(8B)

NAME
qstop - stop pbs batch job processing at a destination SYNOPSIS
qstop destination ... DESCRIPTION
The qstop command directs that a destination should stop processing batch jobs. If the destination is a execution queue, the server will cease scheduling jobs that reside in the queue for execution. If the destination is a routing queue, the server will cease routing jobs from that queue. In order to execute qstop, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege. OPERANDS
The qstop command accepts one or more destination operands. The operands are one of three forms: queue @server queue@server If queue is specified, the request is to stop that queue at the default server. If the @server form is given, the request is to stop all the queues at that server. If a full destination identifier, queue@server, is given, the request is to stop the named queue at the named server. STANDARD ERROR
The qstop command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence. EXIT STATUS
Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qstop command, the exit status will be a value of zero. If the qstop command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero. SEE ALSO
pbs_server(8B), qstart(8B), and qmgr(1B) Local qstop(8B)
