Hi, I think I might end up doing that on my install. But, as an emacs-devel proposal, I thought it would be more useful in-general to have it available in an actual hook. (Hooks are great!) Since I cannot simply wrap shell-command-sentinel (it does not return the message and signal) my overide would need to reproduce the initial part of the function...

``` elisp
  (when (memq (process-status process) '(exit signal))
    (shell-command-set-point-after-cmd (process-buffer process))
    ...etc...
```

That might break in the next emacs release if you guys change any of those functions (memq, shell-command-set-point-after-cmd, etc.) or if you guys replace the sentinel with something else.
