For Debian based distros (like Ubuntu), you can download the .deb package from here https://github.com/sidahmed-malaoui/act/releases, and install it with :

dpkg -i act_i386_amd64.deb

Usage

act -o operation_to_wait_for -a action_to_perform -v

Examples

Shutdown the pc after the end of a copy : act -o copy -a poweroff -v

Reboot the pc after the end of a download : act -o download -a reboot -v

The -v option stands for verbose. You better use it to see what is happening while you are waiting for the end of the operation.
