You might want to make sure you change the sleep time to something
more reasonable... the way that loop is set up, in theory, it'll fire
off another vlc instance for every second that the link is
disconnected.
Maybe change it back to 60 (your original value). That way, at least,
you'll have a minute when the alarm goes off to sort it out before the
loop ticks again and it fires off another vlc... (I'm assuming here
that it'll keep opening vlcs over and over, instead of just restarting
the existing one... YMMV because that's a big assumption I've not
tested)

errrr.... replace vlc with gnome-mplayer for everything I just said ;-)
