I need a copy of the sleep.exe utility found on the
Windows 2000 Resource Kit. I don't have the resource kit
and don't have time to order it (I need the utility ASAP).

Would someone please attach it and email to (e-mail address removed)?

Thanks very much!

Hi

You can do a sleep using ping.exe (not CPU intensive).

Example on sleep approx. 5 seconds (number behind -n is seconds +1):

ping.exe -n 6 localhost >nul


Alternatively, I would think you can use the sleep.exe in the Windows Server
2003 Resource Kit Tools.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en

The download link above also lists all the utilities that is in the RK. The kit

will install on WinXP or later (or use Winzip or something similar to extract
the files).
 
Clever!
