libcurl with c and infinite loop

#include <curl/curl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){

    while(1)
    {

        CURL *curl;
        CURLcode res;

        curl = curl_easy_init();

        if(curl) {

            curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, \
                             "http://192.168.0.120/test.php?r=09210&o=919292" );

            curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);

            res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

            curl_easy_cleanup(curl);       

        }

        sleep(15);

    }

    return 0;
}

This program does not run continuously, it stops updating the database with the values after a few days or hours. Of course, I have tested it by removing the data in the database and checked if it was updating or not. Can anybody help me?

Maybe you can try to move the init and cleanup outside of the while loop, to avoid unnecessary operations which may fail.

#include <curl/curl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(){
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;

    curl = curl_easy_init();

    if(!curl) {
        return 1;
    }

    while(1)
    {
        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, \
                             "http://192.168.0.120/test.php?r=09210&o=919292" );

        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);

        res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

        sleep(15);

    }

   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);       
   return 0;
}
