ECHO Poor Man's SLEEP utility, Version 3.00 for Windows NT 4 and later. :: The actual command: try IPv4 first, if that fails try IPv6. % * | FINDSTR /R /X /C:"*" > NUL || GOTO Syntax :: Check if a valid timeout period is specified. IF NOT " % OS %"="Windows_NT" GOTO Syntax. The PING time-out technique is demonstrated in the following examples: So always specify the number of seconds + 1 for the delay. Will delay execution of the next command for (a little over) 5 seconds seconds (default interval between pings is 1 second, the last ping will add only a minimal number of milliseconds to the delay). PINGįor any MS-DOS or Windows version with a TCP/IP client, PING can be used to delay execution for a number of seconds. You can still abort the delay, but this requires Ctrl+C instead of just any key, and will raise an ErrorLevel 1. Waiting for 10 seconds, press CTRL+C to quit. You may not always want to abort the delay with a simple key press, in which case you can use TIMEOUT's optional /NOBREAK switch: D:\>TIMEOUT /T 10 /NOBREAK Waiting for 10 seconds, press a key to continue. Will delay execution of the next command by 10 seconds, or until a key is pressed, whichever is shorter. So, unlike SLEEP, TIMEOUT's delay can be "bypassed" by pressing a key. It waits for the specified number of seconds or a keypress, and then exits. TIMEOUT was included in some of the Windows Resource Kits, but is a standard command as of Windows 7. There are lots of SLEEP clones available, including the ones mentioned in the UNIX Ports paragraph at the end of this page. Will delay execution of the next command by 10 seconds. It waits for the specified number of seconds and then exits. SLEEP was included in some of the Windows Resource Kits. This is fine for interactive use, but sometimes we just want to delay the batch file for a fixed number of seconds, without user interaction. Well, almost any key: Ctrl, Shift, NumLock etc. This will stop execution of the batch file until someone presses "any key". The most obvious way to pause a batch file is of course the PAUSE command. #BATCH WINDOWS TERMINAL COMMANDS CODE#
