ping, or cat?

I'm sure there are a great many unix utilities that are 'done'

They were designed to fulfil a function, they do that, and so they are 'done'.

Of course someone will work out how to engineer a pong response that will overflow a buffer and feed you grandmother to the cat. But in real terms.... 'ping' is done.
