I run some "set and forget" scripts that take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour to run. While the scripts are running I work on other things, etc...
I would like RStudio to notify me when the scripts are finished running so I can quickly get to analyzing the results. Is there a way to do this?
What form of notification did you have in mind ?
A bubble notification (like what I get on email) would be great. Option to get a pop-up would be nice, too. Honestly anything to give me a heads up that my script is done so I don't have to guess.
I don't have a Mac, so this is untested advice.
You could try using the system2() function to have the osascript utility create a notification:
Display Notifications from Terminal on Mac OS – Marduc812
osascript Man Page - macOS - SS64.com
You could also install the terminal-notifier utility and use that with system2():
Send Mac OS Notifications From R | rud.is
This sounds like a feature request, if that is actually your intent, I recommend you to file an issue on the GitHub repository for the IDE.
Otherwise, implementing notifications in your own code is the way to go as suggested by @nwerth.
