not really sure if this should be in programing...

This prob. shouldn't be in programing, but i didn't know where else to put it...

what's the option in CHOICE to make the batch file stall for X # of sec.?

[ihsir]

theres the PAUSE command but it'll wait for user keypress...
otherwise why dont you code a program that will do the 'wait'. and put that in the autoexec.

hope this helps

Here's a ASM code to make a prog that does the same as pause except it don't give the msg "Stike a key when ready"

a 100
mov ah,8
int 21
cmp al,0
jnz 10a
int 21
mov ah,4c
int 21
r cx
:e
n wait.com
w
q

well heres' more on the pause with choice thing
CHOICE Choose option /C:ABC /T:A,10

Displays the text "Choose option [A,B,C]" and if within 10 secs no key is pressed it auto'ly. choses A.

The Win2k Resource kit has an .exe called WaitFor. The syntax would be:
WaitFor.exe -t (Timeout)
where (Timeout) is the number of seconds to wait.

THis could be used in a batch file, logon script, etc...
