[SOLVED]Can pacman provide some sound after finishing installing

Question

I usually let pacman download and install something in a screen and working on another screens. But I can't know immediately when the instalI finished if I don't return to the screen where pacman is installing something.
Can pacman provide some sound after finishing installing? Or are there any other methods are suitable for this? And I guess tools like wget or axel may need this.

Answer 1

You probably can make a script that wraps pacman, and plays a sound (ffplay, ffmpeg, mplayer, aplay, whatever) and plays a sound when pacman returns. Better than nothing I guess.
Something like this:
pacmansound
#!/bin/bash
pacman $@
ffplay ~/Music/pacman_done.ogg
I'm not sure if this works, but you get the idea.
