Thanks to everyone for the helpful and thoughtful replies!
The 'kill -INT' command did what I needed. It adds the stats to the
file, and then exists.
Thanks again!

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
