windows comman prompt

Hi
I want to write a batch file to restart Windows server
Net stop "messenger"
Net start "messenger"
but I want the service to stop for 5 minutes before restart, how do I
do that?

Like so:
net stop messenger
ping localhost -n 300 > nul
net start messenger

Note also that the above commands belong into a batch file, not into a VB
Script file.
