Install the iTerm2 shell integration

curl -L https://iterm2.com/shell_integration/install_shell_integration_and_utilities.sh | bash

Execute your command and concatenate the attention app, e.g.

./task && ~/.iterm2/it2attention once

It'll cause the iTerm app to bounce it's icon once the job is complete.

You also have other attention options:

$ .iterm2/it2attention -h
Usage:
  it2attention start
    Begin bouncing the dock icon if another app is active
  it2attention stop
    Stop bouncing the dock icon if another app is active
  it2attention once
    Bounce the dock icon once if another app is active
  it2attention fireworks
    Show an explosion animation at the cursor
