Looking at your other posts it looks like its a shell script.
#!/bin/sh

1) read
2) You need to have a test and then based on the result exit, but that won't wok if the command is still running and has not returned to the script.

       ors int] [-delay seconds] [-iterations int] [-mode h|s|v|random] [-cycle] [-no-cycle]

DESCRIPTION

       -install
	       Install a private colormap for the window.

       -visual visual

       -ncolors integer
	       How many colors to use.	Default 50.

       -delay integer
	       How long to delay between images.  Default 10 seconds.

       -iterations integer
	       A measure of the resolution of the resultant image, from 0 to 7.  Default 7.

       -mode [ hue | saturation | value | random ]
	       The axis upon which colors should be interpolated between the foreground and background color.  Default random.

       -cycle

       -no-cycle
	       Whether to do colormap cycling.	Default is to cycle.

       -cycle-delay
	       Number of microseconds between shifts of the colormap; default 100000, or 1/10th second.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
