Launch a game, like Tetris, when apt-get installing an app larger than 50 Megabytes

APP=wine; if [ $(sudo apt-get --print-uris -y install $APP | sed -ne 's/^After this operation, $[0-9]\{1,\}$.*MB.*/\1/p') -gt 50 ]; then gnometris 2>/dev/null & sudo apt-get install $APP; else sudo apt-get install $APP; fi

Change the APP variable's value to whatever you want to install. Depending on how fast your machine is, you'll want to adjust the value 50 to something else. You might also want to play a different game than Gnometris - just make sure it's a GUI game.

I have been looking for good casinos online in SLovenia for a long time to bet my money and not worry that it will burn out. Of course, I don't always win either, but I never stay in the red. Choose a top casino for yourself, and then you will win. I only play slots.
