Is this the actual code you are using? It looks like pseudo code to me. Please do not post pseudo or sample code, post the actual code you are using, and then we can help you.
If this is the actual code then I can see these problems: 1) if (condition met) is not good programming because the actual condition is hidden by the definitions of 'condition' and 'met', which makes the program too hard to read. I would replace this with the actual condition you are testing. 2) alarm_handler is never called from the main program. Thus, the while statement is an infinite loop.
