As part of standard administrative tasks, a batch file can be created to execute a series of Strategy Command Manager 10.x scripts to trigger Strategy Narrowcast Server 10.x services. For more information about executing a command manager script through a command line interface, refer to the following Strategy Knowledge Base technical note:
A single batch file can contain more than one script to be executed. Sometimes, administrators may require that the execution of a subsequent script be delayed for a certain amount of time. For example, a second script within the batch file should be triggered after two hours have elapsed since the first script was triggered.
In the Microsoft Windows operating systems, this can be accomplished by using the 'sleep' command in the batch file. In the following syntax 'N' stands for the number of seconds to wait:
sleep N
By placing this line between scripts in a batch file, the subsequent script will not be triggered before reaching the specified delay time.
Note: This command may not be available out-of-the-box. Sometimes a Resource Kit for the specific Windows operating system needs to be downloaded.
