Troubleshooting
Problem
Windows has an equivalent to the Linux/Unix sleep command in the form of the TIMEOUT command. However, when TIMEOUT is executed in background batch command (.cmd or .bat) files, the TIMEOUT command exits without the expected pause/sleep, and returns "ERROR: Input redirection is not supported, exiting the process immediately".
The same TIMEOUT command can be run successfully from a Command Prompt interactively.
