pinging for 15minutes seems like not a good idea, could have some side-effect which i am not sure of. besides ping delay is not really accurate. that's why in the first place i suggest using vbs sleep function instead of ping.
if you just need to delay for 4-5 seconds once in a while, i would have suggest you using ping instead of vbs sleep.

the code:
>$sleep.vbs echo wsh.sleep 900000
cscript//nologo $sleep.vbs

900000 is in miliseconds, or 900seconds=15minutes.

True, but if you are using it on computers which may not have sleep, ping is your best (only) choice. Although it seems fairly accurate...not to nano seconds, but I've made a stopwatch in batch...almost...

All Windows computers have VBScript, and can use sleep.vbs.

I did look for a virus and Norton said I'm Clean but that dosen't mean everything. I do like to download games and the cracks may have something looming around

I use this command for work (I Work for a cable co) to check for network problems and Iperf is the program they offer but I got tired of typing it in to a command line so I started this file.

I ran a test last night with the command and it worked perfectly until I needed to stop. I used CTL-C it asked if I wanted to terminate Y or N of course I said yes......and window gone. That was my only mistake next time I will say No then I can copy my results before closing the window.

I will give this out to others in my company so I just want to get it right as I can.
 

   >$sleep.vbs echo wsh.sleep 900000
    cscript//nologo $sleep.vbs

This worked grate is there a way to tell it to stop after 24hrs but not close the window? Isn't there a timeout command I can try. In need to copy it into a text doc to be emailed.

Again thank you

Hey Reno,

  The code you posted put the command to sleep just as you said but it never recovers. I  even shorten the time.

When I tested it earlier I did not give it enough time to see if it would run the next test. It is just what I looking for.

any ideas
James

the code is only for sleep, so after sleep, you have to use some sort of restarting, eg. goto statement, call, restart the batch %0, etc

24 hours stop:15minutes   =    4x / hour
24hr x 4x = 96x
not exactly 24 hours, roughly around 24hours + 96 * (time needed to run batch file)

Reno,

You are the man I ran my test for 24hr worked perfectly now I will do  a search for a stop command.

Thank you again, Reno and everyone who helped me
