Login Script

[Guest]

I have created a small script .bat file. That runs on startup.

It basically consists of:

ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /all
*******
use x: \\COMPUTERNAME\SHARENAME /persistent:no

I would like to replace the *'s with a DELAY of ten seconds. Does anyone
know how to do this?

TIA

As far as I know, its not possible in BAT files. You could use a VB Script and the Windows Scripting Host. WSH supports the SLEEP command where you can specify the time for the script to wait before it processes the next command.

Please - in the future - cross-post if you feel the necessity.

As you put in another post you didn't want to use "sleep"..

And open the link in Internet Explorer..
Firefox doesn't seem to just allow you to scroll down to the answer.
Weird. Never noticed it before.

Why don't you try:

ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 >NUL

For ten second delay.

Actually seconds equals ping count minus one so
for ten seconds you want

ping -n 11 127.0.0.1 >NUL

Darn it!!. Thanks for catching it.

Reminds me of the time I volunteered to drive my boss to a hotel, got
confused with the driveways, and dropped him off next store. Boss said "darn
it Frank, what's wrong with you, you're always ONE OFF"
