Ubuntu: get notified after a terminal based process ends

So you have given a SVN Checkout command or apt-get install command which might take unexpected time to end.

Here is a way to get notified when process ends. Just append ;notify-send “message”; to the command

For example
If you are executing sudo apt-get install some-big-package and want to be notified after installation. Then use update command to sudo apt-get install some-big-package; notify-send "installation complete";

and you will be notified using ubuntu’s notification-daemon once the installation completes.

Cheers
