python - Why can't my post-receive hook run a virtualenv source command? -

i have post-receive hook running user 'git'. have virtualenv /python/ve//bin/activate readable git. running:

source /python/ve/<name>/bin/activate 

works fine user in git group.

when runs post-receive hook after push, error "source: not found".

i'm not sure else - hints appreciated.

this of guess, since haven't quoted complete post-receive hook, suspect don't have shebang line pointing /bin/bash @ top. post-receive hook should begin:

#!/bin/bash 

i suspect because if run strict bourne shell, dash, same error when trying source source.
