That's a great question. Thanks for asking it. I have fish 2.1.1. I thought that using a begin/end block would be the way to do this, but that is a synatx error. Then I put the code into a function, and that didn't work either--not a syntax error, but it waited for the sleep to finish before showing the prompt again.
I found a way to make it work calling fish explicitly: fish -c 'sleep 10; and beep' & I assume that putting the code into its own shell script file would also work. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
