Post Trans action hooker

post-trans-action-hooker (noun) A metaphor for a cleanup script that calls back after a package manager finishes installing software—pretending to be part of the transaction, but really just showing up to sweep the icon cache and emotionally haunt the logs.

Example Usage:

“Pacman finished updating, then the post-trans-action-hooker called back to clear the GTK cache. I thought we were done.”

To clean up.

To linger.

To emotionally validate the install.

Example Usage:

“Pacman finished updating, then the post-trans-action-hooker called back to clear the GTK cache. I thought we were done.”
