Mark Szymanski - care to share that script for us Mac folk? It doesn't appear that MacPorts or Fink has notify-send. I found gcin, but not sure it has the same capabilities. Perhaps Growl has a command line equivalent?

This is a weird coincidence. I just made a shell script thing that does the same. But for Mac OS X :P

now that is just sexy.

Hmm, neat idea. I used to just do this:

# long command ; espeak 'Long command is done, now'

But this is a bit more universal, especially for people w/o sound.

This is very nice. My only regret is that it doesn’t work with scripts...
In any case, a nifty little idea =)

Great stuff Dustin!

I added some code to remove the trailing "alert" on the notify:

alias alert='JOB=$(history|tail -n1|sed -e "s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//" -e "s/;\s*alert$//"); notify-send -i gnome-terminal "Finished Terminal Job" "[$?] ${JOB%alert*}"'

Could we propose this for the default bashrc on Ubuntu Desktop? Seems useful enough to me for that.

Works in KDE too. Just replace gnome-terminal with konsole :)

Thanks.

This is so cool, Dustin. Thanks for posting it.

Um, did anyone tested it?
In my case it only started working after deleting newline character \
Here is the whole line:
alias alert='notify-send -i gnome-terminal "[$?] $(history|tail -n1|sed -e '\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/;\s*alert$//'\'')"'

2010-07-26T13:39:21.260-05:00

I wonder if you could set up your shell to notify automatically for any command that takes longer than 10 seconds or so. Or any command that finishes in a terminal (or screen window) that doesn't have focus.

2010-07-26T12:48:15.311-05:00

Thanks, I've been doing cheezy stuff to do something like this for a while, but never anything worth putting in a .bashrc. Using history is very handy.

Thanks

2010-07-26T10:25:23.609-05:00

I don't like to create two aliases for just one command, so I combined them. :)

alias alert='notify-send -i /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/apps/gnome-terminal.png "[$?] $(history|tail -n1|sed -e '\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/;\s*alert$//'\'')"'

Thanks for the idea. Now I just start to wonder how to change the theme of the notification. :)

2010-07-26T09:20:17.395-05:00

This is great, thanks! I simplified "/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/apps/gnome-terminal.png" to just "gnome-terminal", and let notify-send figure out the theme and resolution.

alias alert='notify-send -i gnome-terminal "[$?] $(alert_helper)"'

I implemented something very similar in python a while back:

2010-07-26T08:39:50.038-05:00

I got to the same exact solution (an alias for nitify-send) no more than three weeks ago :)

2010-07-26T08:22:37.956-05:00

it would be even nicer if gnome-terminal could do what multi-gnome-terminal could 8 years ago, and color the title of the tab differently as an implicit notification when no output is done in that tab anymore.
