 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.
