The quick answer is: ctrl+c. A more descriptive answer is:
The default setting for ping on Linux/UNIX systems (including SCO, Linux, BSD, and Mac OSX) is to keep running until you hit the interrupt key. The interrupt key is usually delete on SCO, and ctrl+c anywhere else The -c option of ping specifies a count. So if you wish to set the number of pings before running it use the following command:ping -c # address where # is the number of pings. For example, if you wanted to ping the IP address 192.168.1.1 three times you would type: ping -c 3 192.168.1.1
