Q:

Can I see the summed up results of the ping command while it is running?

When I run the ping command it outputs information for each ping and in the end, when I kill the process it outputs some overall statistics
--- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9013ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.275/2.596/7.246/1.870 ms

Is there a way to see these statistics while ping is running, without having to kill it? I'm particularly interested in continuously monitoring the the packet loss statistic because you need to wait a bit to get accurate numbers for that.

A:

If you press CTRL+\ while ping is running it will display the stats
Check ping statistics without stopping
