Actually tool "ping 8.8.8.8" never quits unless running on windows. This can spawn many processes that kill the server.

This is one of the first production grade errors I've made when I started my programming. I had a widget that would ping the network, but every time someone went on the page, a new ping process would spawn

If you look at the actual code, it runs ping -c 5. I agree ping without options doesn't terminate.
