Dumb question: How do I kill a ping?

| Pat W. 2004-03-22, 2:35 pm |
| I am a UNIX neophyte who is learning by fire. I have initiated a ping
command in one of the shell's (ctrl alt F3), and I thought ctrl d
would kill it, but it won't.
How do I kill a ping command?
Thanks,
Pat.

Ctl C if you have not disable/changed it.
you might try ping -c 1 target if man ping shows that it is supported.

Ctrl D is EOF to terminate a input, not a kill.
Do a killall ping in any console to kill it.
