For people who are working with terminal all the time, you runs pipeline and tasks and you don’t know whethere it’s finished or not. This small trick will alert you.
#step1: install espeak
$sudo apt-get install espeak
#step2: try
espeak "Hello World"
#step3: create several alias to reuse for different alert messages
#success process
alias sp='espeak "process finished successfully"'
#fail process
alias fp='espeak "process failed"'
#example usage
#!/bin/bash
if [ "foo" = "foo" ]; then
echo expression evaluated as true
sp
else
echo expression evaluated as false
fp
fi
