UNIX commands from within an Oracle trigger ?

I've recently come across this dilemma within Oracle 7.0 in that I have a trigger that I use to enforce certain database-rules pertinent to a system that I am working on. However I also require it to perform a simple (!) UNIX move command and I have never come across any method of doing this.

 I don't really have to many Oracle expert minds to ask but I'm pretty sure that someone (out there) must have come upon a similar problem and that some form of a solution to how to execute this UNIX command from inside of the trigger must exist ? ? ?

Any suggestions welcome.
