I would like to get some kind of notification when a script has been executed.


I know how to get an email sent, but I something different.


This works, unless it occurs when I am not at my computer.

Code:

notify-send "Cleanup of Backup Directories complete."

It could even involve creating a file in a directory.

I would need to create said file from within my backup script.

Update:

This works,

Code:

zip -u -q test.zip *.txt *.doc *.rtf *.html *.png *.pdf *.odt *.ods *.odg 
cp "Ubuntu_Documents.zip" /home/andy/Downloads > filebackup.txt

but I get

Code:

cp: cannot stat 'Ubuntu_Documents.zip': No such file or directory
