I am using version 7.1.6 of Oracle on UNIX(Solaris) - the version that doesnt include UTL_FILE and DBMS_JOB. What is the best way of running UNIX shell scripts whose execution strings are stored in an Oracle table. I am currently looking at using Host but this is not very elegant.

Eg.
spool command_file
Select command_string
  from JOB;
Spool Off

!chmod +x command_file.lst
!nohup command_file.lst &
