Hello Friends,
I have scheduled two applications to kick of in the night. I have written a batch file to execute these applications where the second application commences only after the first one finishes. How much time the first application takes to finish is not fixed.

I want there to be a time delay of 4 to 5 minutes between the finish of the first application and commencement of the second application.

Can anybody suggest a command which can pause for five minutes before the next application starts.

Thanks

There is no readily available batch command for this. However, there are some techniques that will introduce delays.
Try the ping command to a non-existent IP address (e.g. 1.1.1.1), while specifying the time-out delay (in milliseconds):
PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 60000 >NUL
Where
"-n 1" is the request for 1 echo
"-w 60000" is the request to wait for 60 seconds before the time out
">NUL" is to reroute the result to nowhere
