Konstantin,
thank you for taking the time to respond. You are right about tail of
course. I used this command because my pre-revprop-change file was
created from pre-revprop-change.tmpl which begins with copious comments
which aren't germane.
The file does in fact contain the opening magic number and interpreter
path.
[apache@X hooks]$ head -1 pre-revprop-change
#!/bin/sh
{
As a side point the "shebang" is not required for a shell script
to run.
[apache@X tmp]$ echo "echo \$*" > ./Echo
[apache@X tmp]$ cat ./Echo
echo $*
[apache@X tmp]$ chmod u+x ./Echo
[apache@X tmp]$ ./Echo "you don't need a magic number"
you don't need a magic number
}
If I run the script it behaves as intended.
[apache@X hooks]$ ls /tmp/tmp
ls: cannot access /tmp/tmp: No such file or directory
[apache@X hooks]$ ./pre-revprop-change
[apache@X hooks]$ ls /tmp/tmp
/tmp/tmp
[apache@X hooks]$ cat /tmp/tmp
running
So I still feel that there is a valid hook file and that somehow DAV
either doesn't like it (what's not to like it has the right name and
permissions) or some other prerequisite I am not aware of is missing.
