[PATCH] Notify when finished

[Harkaitz Agirre]

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.

$ long_running_command
...
...
Hell, this is lasting too long, I'll take a walk.
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.

Harkaitz,
