OK, I checked Google and my own old mail and I know I've seen this here before, but can't find my notes, so please forgive this same old question...

I need to execute a system call from within a PL/SQL block. Specifically, I am looking at starting out report request demons as part of a post startup trigger. Help?

TIA, John P Weatherman
