Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-notifier

With a custom notification dialog, specifying a Command: to run, update-notifier does not provide any feedback as to whether the command completed successfully or not. Possibly, on successful completion of the command, the dialog should go away together.

I will attach a notification file that demonstrates this. When clicking the action button, the command is completed, but I don't see anything (in this example, nautilus is restarted, but if I have another window maximised, I never see the desktop to know that this happened)
