Audio notification of success or failure after a command finishes. Useful for long-running commands.

Usage

ding rake db:migrate

To hear both sounds:

ding true
ding false

Sounds: Obviously, you have to provide your own sound files. I got mine here.

ding.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Customize path by setting export DING_SOUND_DIR=/path/to/sounds in .bashrc
: ${DING_SOUND_DIR:=$HOME/Dropbox/sounds}

trap 'kill 0' INT TERM KILL

success="$DING_SOUND_DIR/smw_coin.wav"
failure="$DING_SOUND_DIR/smw_pipe.wav"
player=$((which afplay &>/dev/null && echo afplay) || echo aplay)

eval "$*"

exit_code=$?

case $exit_code in
  0)
    sound="$success"
    ;;
  *)
    sound="$failure"
    ;;
esac

$player "$sound" &

exit $exit_code
