Please post the actual script you ran. My correction was subtle because it presents two parameters to "ping" not one.
Imho. Corona688's pedantic change to avoid valid Shell constructs, includes the original problem.

There is much variation in the "ping" command and we don't know what Operating System and version you have or exactly what Shell this is.

Can you show us the command-line example which works?
