zlong_alert.zsh
zlong_alert.zsh will use notify-send and a
bell to alert you when a
command that has taken a long time (default: 15 seconds) has completed.
Installation
zplug
zplug "kevinywlui/zlong_alert.zsh"Manual
This script just needs to be sourced so add this to your .zshrc:
source /path/to/zlong_alert.zshConfiguration
There are 2 variables you can set that will alter the behavior this script.
zlong_duration(default:15): number of seconds that is considered a long duration.zlong_ignore_cmds(default:"vim ssh"): commands to ignore.
For example, adding the following anywhere in your .zshrc
zlong_duration=2
zlong_ignore_cmds="vim ssh pacman yay"will alert you if a command has lasted for more than 2 seconds, provided that
the command does not start with any of vim ssh pacman yay.

This script is the result of me trying to understand and emulate this gist: https://gist.github.com/jpouellet/5278239 My version fixes some things (possibly bugs?) that I did not like about the original version.
