Is there a way of telling apt to run when it can - when the previous instance has finished?

I am quite absent minded, and I forget everything I want to install - especially after a restart

Is there a way that I can set another command to run (in a separate terminal, of course) when the currently running instance of apt has finished?

I expect this could be done by repeatedly trying to run the command, but I'm looking for something more like this:

WHEN apt EXIT = True; do run next-apt-command

I also expect that it could check the lock file, to see if it is available?

@tim WHEN apt EXIT = True; do run next-apt-command it is working? – khanthegeek Mar 10 '15 at 07:56
