Nov 4, 2015 at 22:59 comment added MrMas Also note that you can configure different responses for different things: silence, activity, non-zero return value, Just click Settings->Configure Notifications...and you can pop up a notification, play a custom sound, log a file, run a command -- pretty versatile -- though I wish there were more actions -- included session finished (regardless of exit status)
Nov 4, 2015 at 22:56 comment added MrMas This solution is for Konsole users and isn't a perfect solution as it relies on your command either being verbose until it is complete, or completely silent (no output) until it completes at which point the prompt returns. However, this is exactly what I needed when I came looking for help. You can configure Konsole to pop-up a notification, play a sound, etc. Then you have to turn on shell monitoring. Monitor for silence if your command outputs a bunch of stuff until it completes, or silence if it doesn't print out anything and then the shell returns.
Jun 24, 2015 at 3:13 comment added G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' Why are you suggesting that "command-after" should be run asynchronously?  Did you mean to say (command; command-after) &?
