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

ping -i {{seconds}} {{host}}

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

ping -n {{host}}

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

ping -a {{host}}
