I’m trying to run multiple commands in Windows cmd. And need to sleep for ~4 seconds between the commands.

I copy my commands block to the cmd and then want them to run one after the other with breaks of 4 seconds.

My problem is that the timeout command stops the execution and not continue to the next commands:

python3 my_file.py -a
timeout /t 4 /nobreak > nul
python3 my_file.py -b
timeout /t 4 /nobreak > nul
python3 my_file.py -c

The first and the second lines are running and then it ends and shows the > sign.

(I did the same thing in Linux with the ‘sleep’ command ant it works perfect)

I also tried different options of the timeout command such as timeout /t 4 and timeout 4 but nothing works…

How can I do it? it must run on Windows cmd and not as batch file.

Thanks
