Executing a program, folder, document after a time specified

Oh thanks, Devcom. Completely forgot about that.

You might want to have a look at the WAIT command (not included with Windows).

That command is used in the bat created by Startup Manager, but it's not with time, only begin the next when the last has finished.

[Esgrimidor]

or you can use this:

Code: [Select]

ping -n 1 -w 5000 1.1.1.1 >nul
it will wait 5 sec, so you can use this a wait

I'll try. Now I have a little problem. I don't remember how to resolver but I have resolved in the past.
I see the DOS windows while i'm executing the bat. I would like an invisible command window.

Where can i find more information about ping ?

Thanks

try ping /? in cmd, ping is used to test connection etc., but this is the easiest way to make wait

The batch file doesn't make any sense.

All the 'waiting' is useless and unnecessary.

What is the batch file supposed to do. Can you talk us through it?

[devcom]

@Esgrimidor
ping -n 1 -w n*1000 1.1.1.1 >nul

where n is number of seconds to wait

and what do you mean by "clean window", you mean cls command ?

A fellow answer that is

Start work.bat /MIN

this parameter is not possible in the bat created with yLaunch2
but it's possible inside the bat created.

Perhaps is better express as Show Desktop
