Batch File.

I am creating one batch file which move datafile and logfile into different
machine but I want to ask one question like if one command successfully
executed then I have to wait for 20 seconds and then execute the second
command .... can any one know the command which I can use in batch file...
I think there should be any wait or delay sort of command available....
Thanks in advance.

If you kick off the batch file from a stored procedure or SQL batch
file, you can use the WAITFOR DELAY command to wait for 20 seconds.

|||I have created the Batch File in which I wrote this...
NET STOP SQLSERVERAGENT
NET STOP MsSqlserver
COPY "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\master.mdf"
C:\Backup\SystemDatabase
COPY "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\mastlog.ldf"
C:\Backup\SystemDatabase
COPY "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\msdbdata.mdf"
C:\Backup\SystemDatabase
COPY "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\msdblog.ldf"
C:\Backup\SystemDatabase
NET START SQLSERVERAGENT
NET START MSSQLSERVER
Now I want to wait after first copy so what I have to write after that?
Thanks in advance.

This is not a DOS newsgroup, and what I remember from those days is
somewhat limited. My suggestion was if you were using a stored procedure
to kick off the batch files, you could delay them using the waitfor
command. You would need to use xp_cmdshell to kick off the first batch
file, wait, then kick off the second, all from a stored procedure.
Why do you need to wait after the first copy?

You can't. I only suggested it before I actually knew what you were
doing. You need to start SQL Server outside a stored procedure, for
obvious reasons.
