• Ping a host, specifying the interval in seconds between requests (default is 1 second):

ping -i seconds "host"

• Ping a host without trying to lookup symbolic names for addresses:

ping -n "host"

• Ping a host and ring the bell when a packet is received (if your terminal supports it):

ping -a "host"

• Ping a host and prints the time a packet was received (this option is an Apple addition):

ping --apple-time "host"
