Hello
I'm new here so please excuse me if this is common knowledge.
Coming from the unix world I have a tendency to use the shell for quite a number of things. Unfortunately I can't find the way to abort a command when using he mac terminal.
As an example: ping somehost
If the host is there it will respond and in a unix shell a ctrl-c would stop the ping and give you back the terminal prompt. Search as I might I can find no way of doing this with the mac, and end up by closing the terminal and opening up another.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
