That's what the "post-xfer exec" config item is for.  It doesn't allow
the sender to specify the command (since a daemon doesn't like to trust
the client that much), so if you need different post-xfer commands,
you'll need to either use multiple modules or add logic to your script
to work out what is supposed to happen when.

I'd recommend using 2.6.9 for this, as it has an RSYNC_PID value in the
environment that can make it easy to forward values to the post-xfer
exec command that are only available to the pre-xfer exec command
(should you need that).
