Yes. Well on everything except Linux it seems as when I just tried it I
found it worked fine but I could not find a way to stop it pinging. Not
even the escape key did anything. That just seem like being different for
the sake of it even if it means being really awkward. In the end I quit
the terminal and restarted it. I think that's stopped it but I'm not sure.
"on everything except Linux"? I suspect by that you mean Windows! :-)
On everything (including Linux) that I have worked on a ping command
by default continues for ever.
To stop it you do just the same as you would on the Windows (!)
command line, hit CTRL/C.
