One solution is to write custom code to call as an external procedure.
A simpler method might be to just write a daemon that starts up prior
to Oracle and is controlled through data passed via a table.
The daemon tries to connect periodically, and after doing so, polls
the control table on a regular basis for startup instructions.

Subject: Host System Commands from PL/SQL blocks
OK, I checked Google and my own old mail and I know I've seen this here
before, but can't find my notes, so please forgive this same old
question...
I need to execute a system call from within a PL/SQL block. Specifically,
I am looking at starting out report request demons as part of a post
startup
trigger. Help?
TIA,
