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.
