Show HN: Alert-after: Utility to get a desktop alert after a command finishes
github.comThis looks handy, although the size of Rust and Cargo and such required to make it work gave me second thoughts...
Edit: I've just learned of the alert alias in ~/.bashrc that does roughly the same thing.
Mind sharing detail about it?
Sure. I found this question on Ask Ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/409611/desktop-notification-... and the second response mentions the alert alias. I'm not sure if this alias is found only in Ubuntu and derivatives (I'm using Linux Mint) or if it's standard among all Linux distributions.
Simply add ; alert after your commands to receive the notification.
