Tapping into the expertise of DOS fans, please relate the syntax for inserting an auto-complete four-second pause into the middle of this bat file. Efforts here have failed.

net stop cryptsvc
shutdown /r /t 0

Thanks

I re-read your question, you want one of the following:

Batch:

net stop cryptsvc
timeout /t 4 /nobreak >nul
shutdown /r /t 0

or

Batch:

net stop cryptsvc
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 4 > nul
shutdown /r /t 0

timeout may not work on some systems, but ping will work on all of them

Gracias. Appreciate the response. Either approach results in "error #5". When > nul is used, the response also contains "access denied."

No errors if the 'delay' line isn't included.
