Hi guys, I need to use sleep or wait for few seconds between commands, i am using win XP, so i read that sleep command is not recognized, they say ping command works...but not sure how to use it!! So can anyone lighten me up whats the best way to solve this issue.. batch file: start /b java -jar Y:\selenium-server-0.9.2/selenium-server.jar #this command starts my server # (I would want to wait/sleep for 20 or 30 seconds before going to next command) start /b run myfile.exe # this is my second command to run my program Thanks in Advance
