How to stop a while (loop), if a other function is starting after a timer?

Hey, how is the code called, to stop a while (loop), if another function is starting after a 20 Minutes Timer?

If the function has made her function, the timer will get reset and my other while/loop begins again.

Set a flag within the function when it starts and reset it when the function ends. 
Check the flag inside  your while loop and do a short sleep when the flag is set, else do whatever you want to do in the loop.
