RE: post-revprop-change Hook Script

Hi, sorry if these are really obvious or have been previously mentioned,
but just a couple of things to check:

1) The hook script will be executed by the user who owns your
apache/svnserve process - make sure this user can execute your script.

2) Make sure '#! /usr/bin/perl' is the first line of your script, so
that the shell can execute the perl interpreter.

Regards,

Chris

I have written a perl script inside post-revprop-change hook file. When
I run this perl (hook) script alone, I am able to run it without errors.
But I am not able to run this script after a commit. My filename is
still "post-revprop-change" without the .py extension.

you must specify the absolute path to the file, for example:

echo hello > /tmp/test

For most commands you must also supply the absolute path to their
binaries:

/usr/local/bin/svnlook [...]

the output of a post-commit or post-revprop-change hook is never shown
anywhere. if you want to output something and see it somewhere, you'll
have to write it into a file, as above.
