How about using a boolean variable in a while loop.

Instead of  

for(;;)
  [camera instructions] 

Use something along these lines:

$run = true;

While($run)
{
  [camera instuctions]
}


Set $run to false under some condition to stop the loop (inside the
loop).

I didn't no it was possible either, until I needed to use it.   It has
been 
invoked, so the camera moves 6 times in 21 minutes and loops forever 
(http://www.aquaeast.com./webcam.php -- not much to see at night).  Now
the 
question is how to stop it when running in an embedded system.  Hard
reset 
maybe?
