Checking if job is finished in a specific window

[George]

Hi all,

I would like to ask for some help here.

Let's say that I run a job in the first window of a session called
"mysession". What command, if there is such, can I use to check if the
job is finished or it is still running?

Thank you in advance,

George

Use either monitor-silence or monitor-activity depending on how the
command works. Or you could do something like:

program && echo -e "\a"

Assuming you use terminal bells.

There's a few more ways, I'm sure.

Thank you, I will look into those two.
