Thank you RB!
It'll be a good idea to have a progressWindow for users for a long operation. :)

...However, I'm looking for something to terminate unexpected operations such as infinite loop while I'm coding. Something like Ctrl + D.

I don't think you can do it without killing Maya. It's best to throw in a for() loop and have it fail after 1000 loops if you are unsure of your code. Or add a listener object via scriptJob to break out of your loop.

Look into "scriptJob"

Thanks Omita!

scriptJob command seem bit high level to me, but it sure will be useful to keep in mind!
I guess I'll just have to be careful coding loop operation. ;)

Also, when in doubt check the docs.

How can I stop a MEL script that is running?

Unfortunately, you cannot abort a MEL script while its running. The only thing you can do is undo the operation once its done.
