chimer v1.0.0

chimer

chimer is a simple command line utility that plays a sound when a command finishes running. I mostly made this for myself so that if I'm looking at another window or my phone I'll know when some long-running command such as a compiler has finished.

Usage

chimer [--sound <sound-file>] command...

This will run the given command and then play the provided sound file when that command completes. --sound is optional. By default, the chime.mp3 file included in this package will play instead. If --sound is not found, chimer will print a warning and continue normally, but no sound will play when the command is done.

Issues

Note that this may not work as expected with pipes. For example

chimer command | grep result

will chime after command completes but before grep starts. It also will not run grep until the sound finishes playing.
