Ping for 4 times

rated 0 times [ 97] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 280232 / 2 Years ago, thu, april 21, 2022, 2:10:01

Usually I use ping to check my internet connection. In windows, if I use:

ping google.com

I get only 4 information ping, but on Ubuntu, if I use that command, the ping can' stop until I stop it with Ctrl+C. Can I ping only for 4 times then stopped? If I can, can I use it as default?

As Olive Twist already answered, ping -c 4 google.com will do it.

If you want to make this as a default, one way is to create an alias for ping with:

alias ping='ping -c 4'

Save it to your ~/.bashrc file to make it permanent or it will last only for the current terminal session.
