Or you could start ping with a certain number you'd like it to quit at,
say 10 packets:
ping -c 10 hostname
Ctrl + c is a catch all for stopping a running program. Try running
'top'. You can either quit top by sending it a 'q' for quit, or you can
quit top by sending it a Ctrl + c.
Hell, I think Ctrl + c even works to stop a ping in Windows.
