Add notification to my command line on Ubuntu Linux
IntelliJ shows me a notification on MS Windows when the tests are done. (At least if it is not in focus). This helps me bring back my focus if I switched it away.
I would like to have a similar for my command line on Linux. Either running the commands with some prefix or automatically on every command on the terminal. Maybe on every long running command.
notify-send Done "$command"
I even created a file called not with the following content:
#!/bin/bash command=$* #echo $* $* notify-send Done "$command"
I put it somewhere in my PATH and made it executable chmod +x not.
Now I can run
not command
and I'll get a notification when the job is done.
