just add something like `&& echo "Subject: task completed" | sendmail -your@email.com` if you are running it via ssh you can do 'ssh zerocool@htp.org bash -s'

just add something like `&& echo "Subject: task completed" | sendmail -your@email.com` if you are running it via ssh you can do 'ssh zerocool@htp.org bash -s' < local_script.sh` and then do whatever you want to do afterwards running things locally like make or tests i like to put `&& say done` at the end so i don't lose track of it.
