in thread Start a service, wait 10 seconds, and stop the service.

Thanks for the quick response but.. well, is there a way to do that for tor? That's what I'm trying to do. My real script of course does stuff more complex than waiting ten seconds. :)

UPDATE: Tor can be installed as a windows service, so I guess this question boils down to, how do I start a windows service, wait a bit, and stop it. Any ideas?

ahhh, well next time you should mention that your script does more than sleep 10 sec...otherwise you will get an answer to what you've asked (simple and straight to the point....)	[reply]
