From the dirvish manpage:
Each pre or post shell_commands will be run with these environment
variables DIRVISH_SERVER, DIRVISH_CLIENT, DIRVISH_SRC, DIRVISH_DEST and
DIRVISH_IMAGE set. The current directory will be DIRVISH_SRC on the
client and DIRVISH_DEST on the server. If there are any exclude
patterns defined the pre-server shell command will also have the
exclude file’s path in DIRVISH_EXCLUDE so it may read or modify the
exlude list.
Hence if you run your script as a post-server script, it has access to
$DIRVISH_DEST which should be the directory where the log file is, I
believe (you may need to experiment a bit to verify this).
