. I am sending 5 pkts using -c switch, I am also using -w 2
>for waiting for only 2 sec if remote host is not reachable as follows

Well, if you want exactly 5 packets to be sent,increase the waitsec to 3.
By using -w2, you will be terminating the ping process after 2 seconds and
this is done irrespective of whether the remote m/c is up or not.
