Calling up a GUI more than once

[rbenner1184]

I am building a pretty complicated script that will install internet explorer 10 both offline and online and that part has been done, but since I am in an enterprise environment here this install will be going out to everyone in the company, especially senior executive officers so I do not want to make anyone angry. My goal is to ask the user if they want to reboot right away and reboot if the user agrees, but if they do not then the gui timer that I have compiled with a pop up counting down from 8 hours, but this also gives the user yet again another chance to postpone the reboot. If they do postpone the gui should sleep for 4 hours then pop up again. Then with 30 minutes remaining before the reboot this gui should pop up again. I have the timer down, but I cannot seem to to my script to call the timer up back after i tell it to sleep. Does anyone have any clue how I could achieve this? Here is the code if you have any ideas. Thank you.

rbenner1184,

I have just realised that you posted this question twice. Please do not double-post in this manner again.
