On Mac or Linux, I run "tput bel" to the end of expextedly long-running commands. On Mac, the icon bounces and system makes a beep sound. On linux (i3/urxvt), the window and workspace turns red until I focus it.

You can usually also type it after the command has started and it’ll still work

i've always used

  python -c 'print("\a")'
without thinking too much about it, but yours is way nicer!
