You can't kill this except by killing
the rc that is running the while loop.

Better to put it into a script pingftp
and then kill pingftp|rc.

To kill off the listeners, try this:

term% cat /rc/bin/Kill
#!/bin/rc
ps | sed -n 's%^[^ ]* *([^ ]*) *[^ ]* *[^ ]* *[^ ]* *[^ ]* *'$1'%chmod 666 /proc/\1/ctl;echo kill > /proc/\1/ctl%p'
term%

It's like slay but for any process, not just
those owned by you.

Also at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/~rsc/Kill
if the line gets mangled (that's one line not
counting #!/bin/rc).
