Command Monitor

This is a command line utility for reporting the status of a long-running job. This project started because the author got tired of building c++ code and having to choose between staring at a screen while waiting for the job to end or starting another task only to come back much after a job had ended. With this utility, instead of typing:

$ make

you can instead type:

$ cmd_monitor.py "make"

When the make job ends, a status notification will show up on your desktop along with a sound indicating whether the job was successful or not.

Installation

$ pip install cmd_monitor

Additionally, the default sounds are provided on Ubuntu with the ubuntu-sounds package. Pulseaudio is used to play the sounds (from the package pulseaudio-utils). If you are on another distribution, you can override the default sounds with the following flags:

$ cmd_monitor --success_sound /my/success/sound --fail_sound /my/fail/sound

Or to have no sound at all:

$ cmd_monitor --success_sound "" --fail_sound ""
