I'm not sure the user would normally want this sort of flexibility.

First, look at $Conf{RestorePostUserCmd}.  You can use it to specify
a command to execute after the restore completes.

Rather than have multiple scripts, I would recommend adding an option to
the CGI interface (see the lib/BackupPC/Lang files), copying the option
value to the restoreReq file (see lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm) and then
passing that option value to the $Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} script (see
bin/BackupPC_restore).  Your $Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} script can then
take that argument and execute the corresponding functions.
