Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bash
This bug is closely related, though slightly different from Bug #315932. I recently posted: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2010/07/dear-command-line-please-ping-me-when.html This post received some positive feedback in the comments and in IRC. A number of people have asked for this sort of functionality in the default Ubuntu .bashrc. I think this is a perfectly reasonable request. It doesn't get in the way, as current users must consciously append "; alert" onto their long running commands. We can experiment with this as a proof-of-concept in Maverick, and perhaps look at better ways of doing this automagically by default (again, see the really interesting implementation in Bug #315932). I have tested: a) when libnotify-bin is not installed -- command-not-found prints a useful error message b) when gnome-terminal is not installed -- icons aren't present; notify message pops up without icons; still functional c) over ssh -X -- works fine, assuming the client and host has the necessary packages to do libnotify stuff ** Affects: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Assignee: Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- add an "alert" alias, which can optionally be added after long running commands https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616028 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
