Thanks for the ping trick, saves the trouble of installing sleep.exe when just writing a quick script.

Hi,
I decided to write sleep for my own.

As a heads up:
Timeout doesn’t seem to exist on my normal copy of Windows XP SP3.

Another way is to use ‘timeout’ command.
Just type ‘timeout’ at the command line and it will display the help.
I don’t know since when is it available, but at least is available on Vista.
