About this plugin

You kick off a long agent run inside WSL and walk away; when it finally finishes, a fleeting tab title is far too easy to miss. dsh-wsl-notify solves exactly that: the moment the task completes, a Windows MessageBox pops up to grab your attention and pull you back to the terminal.

The core capability is straightforward — the win_notify tool displays a MessageBox with customizable title and body (defaults: DSH / Task finished.). This release deliberately uses a blocking popup instead of a non-blocking toast, prioritizing reliability without pulling in extra Windows modules. The trade-off is that the dialog stays in the foreground until you dismiss it, so keep the text short and avoid sensitive content.

It ships as part of the dsh-wsl-kit suite and suits anyone running long builds, training jobs, or agent pipelines inside WSL who wants a clear, hard-to-miss visual cue when work is done. If you prefer a system-tray toast or a command-line chime, the implementation can be swapped later; for now the focus is on doing the simple thing reliably.

Use Cases

  • A long build or training job finishes in the background and a popup replaces tab-refreshing
  • An agent pipeline completes and a desktop alert confirms it without hunting for the terminal
  • Switching between many tabs and needing one unmissable visual ping when a session ends

Best For

  • Developers who routinely run long jobs inside WSL
  • dsh-wsl-kit users who want a lightweight, zero-dependency notification
  • Windows + WSL power users who prefer a blocking dialog over a tray toast
