I want to be noticed after a command has finished its execution. And I was thinking that if I hear a sound is a good idea.
For example, because I have a slow internet connection, the following command take long time to execute:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
So I let the terminal to run in background running the above command, but I want to hear a sound when it finished.
You can combine your command with a command that plays sounds. For example paplay:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade; paplay /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/message.ogg
Furthermore, if you want to play a sound if the command was successfully completed and another sound in case of an error, you can use something like:
command && paplay $(locate dialog-information.ogg) || paplay $(locate dialog-error.ogg)
Try the below command on terminal,
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && aplay /path/to/Sound/filename.wav
/path/to/Sound/filename.wav - path to your .wav file.
The sound wiil be played only if both the commands are executed successfully.
