Set up sound notification when bash command is done

When I run a command that takes a long time, I realize too late that it's completed while I'm doing other things. That's why I created an audible notify system using the script below.

1npm install && say "npm install done"

If you want to add a tiny sound before the voice, you can use the

afplay

1npm install && afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Funk.aiff && say "npm install done"

You can convert this script into an alias.

1notify() {                 
2  local message=$1
3  shift
4  local command="$@"
5  eval "$command" && afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Funk.aiff && say "$message"
6}

You can now use it below:

1notify "npm install done" "npm install"

Notes

• You can list voices using the

  say -v \?

  command. For example, I can use

  Yelda

  voice for texts in Turkish.
  1say -v Yelda "Selamlar"
