The only thing I can think of is a "process watcher" app that watches for
the Hot Sync application to load and then disappear from the process list to
indicate that a sync had completed, and then lauches your "after sync"
application and goes back to watching the process list. AFAIK there is no
"event" that a Rev app can tap into...
