Pausing Command Script

[agent006]

Anyone know of a way to make an NT command script pause for a set amount of seconds before executing the next command?

Don't know if you can do it within a command script, but can you not just use a vb script to do the pausing before calling the command script, or use vb to script the command script?

HTH,

Ooh, a bodge, i like a good bodge i do.

Sorted. Although i could use the sleep command, but that's only for XP and 2003 and half our kit is 2000.
