How to stop a command - make it stop running (such as ping)

[cybrsage]

Lets say I mess up and type 10000 instead of 1000 in an extended ping. Lets say I realize it only after the ping starts.

How do I make it stop?

sir I entered the key combination several times but it didn't stopped the ping.

Thank you for confirming that you tried the key combination several times. Usually that does work. I do not have an explanation at this point why it did not work for you.

Hi,

For those who are searching : explanation is simple.

What is your keyboard layout?

A "6" key in QWERTY or AZERTY is not the same key...
