Thank you for your kind response Laurent, I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly, the key concept here is "afterthought". I already executed the command, I'm waiting for 4 minutes, I leave for a coffee.

Ring ring, the phone notifies $ I already wrote a script that did what you explain, in the form of "snotify COMMAND", but it's not a good idea, the need for the notification always an afterthought.
