object.Sleep(intTime)

object: WScript object.

intTime: Integer value indicating the interval (in milliseconds) you want the script process to be inactive.

The thread running the script is suspended, releasing its CPU utilization. Execution resumes as soon as the interval expires. Using the Sleep method can be useful when you are running asynchronous operations, multiple processes, or if your script includes code triggered by an event. To be triggered by an event, a script must be continually active (a script that has finished executing will certainly not detect an event). Events handled by the script will still be executed during a sleep.

Note
Passing the Sleep method a 0 or –1 does not cause the script to suspend indefinitely.
