OK, then, to make it clear: 1) BSD_ME_HARDER=0 Ping default number of times and exit. 2) BSD_ME_HARDER=1 Ping until user breaks by C-c. 3) BSD_ME_HARDER is undefined Same as 2) If that's what you mean, then it's OK with me. The (3) is important to not break the default behaviour. However the variable name seems strange to me. Speaking about environment variables, I'd rather propose, instead of BSD_ME_HARDER, to introduce the PING_COUNT variable with the following meaning: 1) PING_COUNT=0 or undefined Ping until user breaks by C-c. 2) PING_COUNT=N, where N is an integer number Ping that number of times and exit (unless overridden by -c). How about that? Regards, Sergey
