I belive that the problem is that the control-C never arives on
the console as the serial-comunication package you are using does
not deliver it (atleast minicom does not) - You can use ping -c 1
(not sure if your ping also takes -c # for the count) to ensure that
it will terminate after one ping package. That was my workaround...
