** Description changed:
Separating the first part of a list and the `alert` part with && (or any
of the doubled control operators) will result the second character to be
printed in the body of a message, for example:
sleep 5s && alert
+
+ will display the following message:
+
+ sleep 5s &
Adding the asterisk after the [;&|] bracket expression fixes it:
alias alert='notify-send --urgency=low -i "$([ $? = 0 ] && echo terminal
|| echo error)" "$(history|tail -n1|sed -e
'\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/[;&|]*\s*alert$//'\'')"'
