Vista - After script is complete, wait 15 minutes, then run again

07-22-2009

Thanks in advance, experts.

I have a script that I would like to, whent he script has finished, it
waits for 5 or 10 or 15 minutes, then runs it again, without setting
up a scheduled task or processes - just built into the script
somehow. Is that possible?

Also, in a separate post I asked this question, but I'll add it here
just in case. Is there a way to attempt moving a file, if there is an
error it logs the error in a text file (already setup), but only
attempts moving the file, or only logs the error a certain number of
times, as to not fill the log with the same error multiple times?

Here is the generic answer:

Do
MyScript
wscript.sleep 5 * 60 * 1000
Loop

sub MyScript
{Your code goes here}
end sub

Your script will obviously run forever or until you break out of it.
