I don't like the time changes, I think it's better to use the timer*
macros from sys/time.h.

+       send_host_information();
+       delta = AL_INTERVAL;

Make delta a struct timeval, and change AL_INTERVAL to... CHECK_INTERVAL?

+       gettimeofday(&now, NULL);
+       timeadd(&now, delta, &next);

Use timeradd here.

+       pfd[0].fd = s;
+       pfd[0].revents = POLLIN;

No, you must set 'events' to POLLIN but check 'revents' for POLLIN.

+               if (now.tv_sec > next.tv_sec) {

Use timercmp(&now, &next, >)

+                       timeadd(&now, delta, &next);

Use timeradd.

I would rename this variable, and maybe make it static in the function below
(and initialize!).

I think the rest is ok.
