eh? Why would simply saying "run this script" bring the database to its knees?

I am looking to invoke a system script, in the background, that will take care of copying the archive log, via scp, to an outside location. I dont want to simply use NFS with multiple archive dests, for multiple reasons.

I am fully aware of potential overlap issues if the prior script has not finished running, etc. and will take care of that appropriately. I just need a way to make it get called automaticaly when a new archivelog is created, rather than have an inefficient demon that polls the directory every second or something.
