I have recently needed to change from windows 7 to windows xp and I have come to the shocking realisation that there is no timeout command. So how can do something of the equivalent? Is there a method that does the same thing?
Regards,
Rileyh

Two options.
Download the Windows 2003 server resource kit and use the sleep command in there.
Use the PING trick.

Or the vbscript method...
sleep.vbs
Code: Select all
wscript.sleep wscript.arguments(0)*1000
Code: Select all
cscript sleep.vbs //nologo seconds
