While you should really be using a service for this, if you need/want to do this anyway, you can use a ManualResetEvent to do this:

private ManualResetEvent Wait = new ManualResetEvent(false);

When you're finished 'starting' and want to just wait, you'd then do:

Wait.WaitOne();

When you want to stop and let it exit, you can then do:

Wait.Set();
