I wrote an XEmacs/Emacs extension called `after-save-commands.el'
that lets you set up a command to be run after saving a file... It
installs a find-file-hook that watches for files with names matching
the ones you've configured via a `customize-variable' interface, and
when it finds one, it installs a buffer-local `after-save-hook' that
will run your configured shell command after saving the file. It's
great for running `newaliases', or reloading a daemon after you edit
its configuration files.
You can find a copy either bundled with recent versions of XEmacs, or
at <URL:http://master.debian.org/~karlheg/XE-Lisp/>. I think it will
work in GNU Emacs also; YMMV.
