[CS-FSLUG] set awarning when finished?

[davidm at hisfeet.net]

Wow! that's simple, and I'm sure it will work in many situations. But I
wonder about the one I'm working on right now:  The script  might look
like this:
"recordmydesktop --no-sound --no-cursor -o 6ch.ogv && mpg123 ldc.mp3"
And I'm tryng it out right now.  The problem here might be that in order
to get "recordmydesktop" to finish (doing it's encoding) requires a
Ctrl-c. Then it proceeds to encode what it has recorded.  The end of that
encoding is where I'd like to hear an mp3.

That worked really well! Thanks a  lot brother.

I came into DOS before Windows existed, so I learned command line. But
coming to Linux after nearly everything can be done with a GUI (and being
perhaps just a tad lazy:) I'm having a little harder time learning command
line in Linux. Besides, it's both different and more powerful (which is
from my viewpoint more complicated). But I am learning something now and
then.
