In GNOME you can use Zenity or libnotify and the notification-daemon. Plop this in a Bash script to use libnotify and the notification-daemon

An easy way,

if you are using putty to login

once the script is completed do a contiuous

Code:

echo "\a"

xdialog is another commonly used tool for that and many other purposes.
