My solution is not quite so clever but there's the "-c" option for ping.
ping -c 10 other.end.net
will send 10 pings and exit normally.
You might want to have a look at Smokeping
<http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/>
Gives nice graphs of latrency over time and the "smoke" shows variations
in the latency at any given time.

I ran the following command for a few days, just to get a feel for

ping [ip address] >> /var/log/pings_to_remote &
The challenge I have is that I want to end the process in such a way
that I get the summary report you would normally get when you ctrl-d
the ping command.
If I just 'kill -9' the process (which is the only way I know to
terminate a process), it doesn't finish the ping command gracefully,
and so the captured file doesn't have the summary report in it.
Any tips would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
