I run ping <hostname> command in console and it now outputs hundreds of those rows now (icmp_seq=526 ttl=64 time=0.026 ms), icmp_seq is like 500 or more now. How to stop it? (linux debian) Should i just close console?

Never mind, it stopped on 532. Hahah.

You can also limit the count: ping -c 10 localhost – jscott May 11 '11 at 13:23
