On older Windows system, timeout is not available. However, we can use the sleep command.
Usage
sleep 1
Very self-explanatory; sleep for 1 second.
However, sleep is a deperacted command and should be replaced by timeout.
Availability
This command is available on old Windows system. Also SLEEP.exe is included in 2003 Resource Kit.
To use sleep.exe, put the executable file to %Windir%\System32 folder. Then you can use it as normal command.
