Since I don't know exactly where the message is being generated, I
can't tell you how to get rid of it.  What is most likely happening,
however, is that some routine/process is spitting out this message to
stderr or stdout.  You have to find out what exactly is producing the
message and redirect the appropriate output (e.g., stderr or stdout)
to /dev/null.

> If i want to stop the loop what should i do?

If you want to have full looping control (e.g., start, stop, step, etc.)
you will have to use a GIF looper instead of an animated GIF.
