2 little tips

Guys ... I need something that, when the .CMD file is executed, it stays "on pause" for 3 minutes.

The last thing is...

Does the restart command with timer supports 24h? (Dont know how many seconds)?

for pausing the batch file you can use sleep.exe. you can find it on http://unattended.msfn.org/global/downloads.htm

Thank you.

What I want is the Start /wait syntax with some kind of timer. Not using any .EXE to do it.

You could pause it using the crude, ping command:

ping -n 181 127.0.0.1>nul

adding 1 second to the time you require, (in seconds), appears to be more accurate.

My preferred method would be using the 'built-in' timer function of WSH, here is a basic template, set for 3 minutes, run it in a cmd console to see it work:

@ECHO OFF
SET SECONDS=0
SET MINUTES=3
IF %SECONDS% EQU 1 (SET SECS=second) ELSE (SET SECS=seconds)
IF %MINUTES% EQU 1 (SET MINS=minute) ELSE (SET MINS=minutes)
ECHO/ Pausing for %MINUTES% %MINS% and %SECONDS% %SECS%...
ECHO/Wscript.sleep 1000*%SECONDS%+60000*%MINUTES%>TEMP.VBS
cscript/nologo TEMP.VBS
DEL TEMP.VBS
ECHO/ Continuing...
