Subject: [windows2000] Pause timer for batch files?


Hi all,

I'm trying to make a hard- and software audit on our domain
computers with free software. Aida32 if somebody is interested...

Anyway, I'm trying to tell the clients to make an audit when the
computer starts up (using a stratup script), but this failed for
whatever reason, so I resorted to adding the script to the login
scripts-feature in a GPO.

Now, it works, but seem to have some problems with the command
window closing to fast, as it works if I put a pause statement in
the end of the script. To minimise user input, ie pressing a key to
unpause the script which some users find difficult and dangerous,
I'm speculating whether there is a "pause timer" of some sort, that
I can tell to pause for some 30 seconds and then continue w/o the
user input.

The script I'm running is a simple batch script, no vbs or similar
at all.

Does anybody know of a simple timer that would do what I want?

TIA.

BW,

Sorin
