Start a ConEmu tab with a delay

Question

I'm trying to set up a task in ConEmu to start a Mongo DB server, wait few seconds and start a new ConEmu tab with a Mongo client.

My current ConEmu configuration looks like this:

> cmd /k C:\bin\MongoDb2.6\bin\client-delay.bat
cmd /k C:\bin\MongoDb2.6\bin\mongo-start.bat -cur_console:s25H

The client-delay.bat script is using the timeout.exe command to create delay.

Is there a way to add a delay in ConEmu directly instead of using timeout command?

Thanks!

There is general tab creation timeout setting, but it affects all possible tasks. Almost useless in your case and you'll lose ability to cancel waiting. Option was created for debug purposes.

Why do not to use timeout in the task itself?

> cmd /k C:\bin\MongoDb2.6\bin\client-delay.bat
cmd /k timeout 10 & C:\bin\MongoDb2.6\bin\mongo-start.bat -cur_console:s25H
