(untested)

func s:Sleep(prog)
while 1
call system(a:prog)
sleep 1
redraw
if getchar(0) == 3
return
endif
endwhile
endfunc

command -nargs=1 -complete=shellcmd SleepCall call s:Sleep(<q-args>)

Invoke it at the console or in a script by
:call SleepCall('myexe')

Get out of it (I think) by hitting Ctrl-C or by feedkeys("\<C-C>").
Anything else you type before Crtl-C is discarded.

Best regards,
Tony.
