Why are you not using a timer for that?

Solution 1

Create a "master" thread with a sleep timer or a time out for 10 seconds. This thread should only start another "worker" thread which will do the work.

Right, a 5. However, OP asks about a "program". That said, OP can be recommended not to make it a program, but a program can also be started with System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (which I think is heavily abused, judging by frequent CodeProject questions).

if it is "his program" he should consider making into my "worker thread concept". This is the best way.

If it is an external program he should start it with the "master thread". Bad solution, because every 10 seconds an new environment for the program gets allocated. The dll overhead an some system stuff are slowing the overall performance and are a source of some errors.
