hey.sh

# Do you keep forgetting about long-running processes on your machine,
# and you wind up stuck on something else while waiting?
# This bash function will remind you when your long-running process is done.

# 1. Ensure zenity is installed on your system (or modify the script below)

# 2. Add the following bash function to your shell profile (e.g. .bashrc)

hey() {
        $@
        ret=$?
        if test $ret -eq 0
        then
                zenity --info --text "Hey! Your process finished successfully."
        else
                zenity --error --text "Hey! Your process failed with return code ${ret}."
        fi
}

# 3. Source your profile or restart your shell session.

# 4. (USAGE) Invoke literally ANY command with 'hey' in front.
# For example, 'hey sudo docker-compose -f local.yml build'
# You will get a popup notification when it is completed.
