RE: java package to run OS command

Here's another link to a good Java Stored Procedure for this: http://www.oracle-base.com/Articles/8i/ShellCommandsFromPLSQL.asp

But the same caveats apply. We're using an external procedure written in C for this instead of Java, and I use a shell that checks PRODUCT_PROFILE for authority to run the command, before it will call the extproc. I'm happy to share source code with anyone interested it doing it this way, but external procedures are a bit harder to set up than Java Stored Procedures and open you to a few security hazards.

John, it is available on asktom as well, but read the caution Tom explains. Restrict it to only executables you want. Asktom has example.
