Running a timeout function in the background

I have a function:
int waiting()
fd_set input_set;
struct timeval timeout;
int ready_for_reading = 0;
int read_bytes = 0;
FD_ZERO(&input_set );
FD_SET(0, &input_set);
timeout.tv_sec = WAIT; // WAIT seconds
timeout.tv_usec = 0; // 0 milliseconds
printf("^[[10;53H^[[1;34;44m LOGIN TO BBS ^[[0;37m", WAIT);
printf("^[[11;53H^[[34;46m apply to bbs ^[[0;37m", WAIT);
printf("^[[12;53H^[[34;46m page sysop ^[[0;37m", WAIT);
printf("^[[13;53H^[[34;46m logout of bbs ^[[0;37m", WAIT);
printf("n", WAIT);
ready_for_reading = select(1, &input_set, NULL, NULL, &timeout);
if (ready_for_reading == -1)
return -1;
if (ready_for_reading)
else
exit(1);
return 0;
It times out, like it should, The problem is that it only works when the user doesn't input anything. I'd like it to work regardless of if the user inputs anything. Also, I'd like to run this function in the background. Is that possible?
