Hi,
Yet another question.

amount of time (let say 10 seconds)?

Thank you
Fyodor.

ping.exe -n 11 127.0.0.1 >nul

is one method.
Certain "sleep" or "wait" utilities can also be used.
In some cases START "" /WAIT <command> may be appropriate. (NT5.x)

Typically, use PING with the -n switch set to number of seconds
to delay plus one, thus:

ping -n 11 127.0.0.1 >NUL

However, if you want to WAIT for the completion of a
separate process, you may prefer to use START /WAIT

For full details of how to insert delays and event waits in Batch
files, including an explanation of the PING method above,
