Scheduled task: need to insert 10 second pauses between commands

Question

I'm creating a scheduled task to restart the same three services on different servers. I need the commands to add 10 second pauses between each stop/start.

ex:

sc \Server1 stop "Service1"

-- 10 second pause

sc \Server1 start "Service1"

-- 10 second pause

sc \Server1 stop "Service2"

-- 10 second pause

sc \Server1 start "Service2"

-- 10 second pause

sc \Server2 stop "Service1"

-- 10 second pause

sc \Server2 start "Service1"

-- 10 second pause

sc \Server2 stop "Service2"

-- 10 second pause

sc \Server2 start "Service2"

By the way, specifying the language/environment (as a tag) would be lovely — Ruslan Osipov, Jan 28 '13 at 22:22
