The :post method does not seem to work for me. With: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output :post (shell-command-to-string "popup.py babel done") sleep 10 echo DONE #+END_SRC --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- (popup.py is my homemade notifier) I get the popup immediately and the results after 10 seconds. The org-babel-after-execute-hook method worked fine. Nick
