How to implement this on zsh?

i added

unset cmd

on line 9 after "notify-send" to prevent getting notification whenever i press enter after a long command...

To use this, clone it:

git clone https://gist.github.com/4576452.git

Then copy the file somewhere:

cp 4576452/notifyosd.zsh ~/.zsh

Source it in your .zshrc:

[ -e $HOME/.zsh/notifyosd.zsh ] && . $HOME/.zsh/notifyosd.zsh

I've made a small addition, which displays a notification only if the current active windows isn't terminal.
https://gist.github.com/shockone/5255331
Without the line 13 notification is displayed multiple times. Any ideas why?

kdialog --title "$cmd_basename completed" --passivepopup ""$cmd" took $cmd_time seconds"
to use at KDE without notify-tools installed.
PS Thanks a lot!

pataluc: Thank you for pointing that out! The "unset cmd" should actually be on line 10 though. I have fixed it.

Now if you run this thing in an "ssh -X" session you'll have the hostname included in the notification!

Command completion status now in notification title!

I forgot to mention that if you have sox installed then this will play a sound for $?=0 or $?>0.
