Batch Scripts and Sleep


Written by

Every now and then I want to make my batch scripts pause or wait for x amount of time. Most solutions seem to utilise ping to make it wait as natively Windows doesn’t include a sleep or wait feature and pause only accepts a user input.

Here comes the timeout command!

TIMEOUT /NOBREAK /T 10 >NUL

will make your scripts wait for 10 seconds and display no output, without the >NUL it will display a countdown.

Download the .debs for Mepis 8 from this repo; remember to download wine-1.4~rc. and wine-dev-1.4~rc…

also it’s a good idea to grab winetricks while you’re at it, the newest version off the site should work. Just follow the instructions.

This is taken from a previous post.

Updates

Hi,

I have updated ldir (1.7.7), nothing major though it’s just an update to the URL where it checks for the latest version number. It’s now stored in a central place where other software I have developed checks it’s version.

Over the christmas period, I am planning on finalising the Helpdesk system Wonderful Help 2 and releasing it for public use; as well as looking at the ldir code to see how it can be improved as it’s a long time since it has had any major work developed for it.

The media library program is developing slowly with more features being planned. There are some optimisation issues at the moment but these will be addressed prior to release.

Read more about ldir here.

Edit:

Changed the Repo from “Testing” to “Stable” as the testing repo was only providing the latest wine.
