Thanks for the suggestions. However I have tried this sort of thing (even
said so in the post):

What happens is that there is little to no delay between the writes.
It would seem that the "Delay" service starts a command then
signals to the next service it can start. This makes sense as the
service
could be doing anything, in this case it is just running SLEEP. As far
as
service control is concerned the service is started, move on the next
one.

This is what would happen with a VBscript and any other program that
performs a SLEEP type function. Unless I'm missing something fundamental all
this does is create a service that starts, signals the next service it can
start, then stops after the number of seconds specified in the sleep.

What I need is a service that won't START for number of seconds. Because
running any program, like a batch job, vbscript, etc successfully starts
straight away, signally the next service it can start.

Any other suggestions?
