Ping problem in LINUX
 

hello,
i run the ping command using system() in C..its start pinging the desired destination bt when i close my application it continues to ping...is there any solution dat as soon as i close my application it also stops pinging...ny change required in my C code..?
plz reply..thanks 4 ur tym...

In your program, add -c 5 to the ping command; that'll stop after five pings (otherwise, ping will go on forever).

Also, rather than using the system() function, look into the exec() family of functions (but use the -c argument!).

Add kill at end?
