Not out-of-the-box, but you could write a function in a
loadable extension which forks a process and have that
function called in an ON UPDATE trigger.

http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=LoadableExtensions
http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/create_function.html
http://www.sqlite.org/lang_createtrigger.html

Alternatively, you could change the SQLite source for your
purpose. I don't advise this, it's hard to maintain.

A loadable extension is the "proper mechanism".
