trigger --> unix shell script question

Hi,

Can anyone out there tell me how to have a trigger execute a unix shell script. For instance, is there a way in a PL/SQL block to break out into the operating system to execute a file/script? I've reviewed the DBMS utilities and did not find anything that looked like it would work.

Thanks in advance!

PS - in case my specific operating system matters, I am running Oracle 7.3.4 on a Sun Solaris 2.6 system.
