[ns] a loop or a start and stop methods

[Pedro Vale Estrela]

You need to schedule a tcl proc which: 
a) does ping "send"  
b) reschedule itself for 1 second later

this is a simple 4 line TCL proc!

you can also do this in c++ only by using a timer object, for the same
purpose. This will require recompilation and c++ debugging.
