Hi you can  use  ${Delay:X}

Hi sja,

Thank you for the reply.  I tried deleting the post as I found the answer very shortly thereafter.  I was using the ${Delay:x} macro in the script above.  My issue turned out to be my wait periods were not long enough for me to notice that the Delay worked.  So here is what I did to fix my problem in case others need to do the same.

script ShutNoShutPorts (    
                        NCM.Nodes @ContextNode, 
                        NCM.Interfaces[] @TargetPorts 
						)

{
  // DEFINE THE PIPE SYMBOL FOR LATER USE AS THE PIPE SYMBOL ADDED DIRECTLY IN THE SCRIPT WON'T WORK
  string @PipeSymbol='|'
  
  // DEFINE 2 PAUSES. ONE FOR 2 SECONDS AND ONE FOR 20 SECONDS TO ALLOW FOR THE SCRIPT TIME TO DO IT'S THING.
  string @PausePlease2='${Delay:2}'
  string @PausePlease20='${Delay:20}'
  
  // Enter configuration mode
  CLI 
  {
   configure terminal
  }
 
  // Loop through selected ports
  foreach (@portItem in @TargetPorts)
  {
CLI
{
interface @portItem.InterfaceDescription
shut
@PausePlease2
no shut
end
@PausePlease20
!
!
sh ip int brief @PipeSymbol incl @portItem.InterfaceDescription
}
  }

}

Hope this helps and thank you once again for your input sja!  Much appreciated!
