If you're using http:// access, something might be recorded in the apache
error log.
A couple of things to keep in mind when writing your post-commit hook
script. First, the directory that the hook script is executed from is
not necessarily the same directory that the script is located in. IOW,
if you need to output something to a particular directory, then either
put in an absolute path, or make sure to change to the appropriate
directory before generating your output. Secondly, the script is
executed in an empty environment. If your script counts on touching
other tools, then you may need to set all the appropriate environment
variables for it to work correctly. Finally, don't forget that the hook
script is run as the same user as the server process. So be sure
whatever your touching has the permissions set to allow for the desired
access.
HTH.
