??? Executing a Unix command from PL/SQL

Hi,



Is it possible to execute a Unix command DIRECTLY from an Oracle8 stored
procedure?  I've looked through the mans, and the closest I get is an
example of DBMS_PIPE use, where the stored procedure uses DBMS_PIPE to call
an ever-running Pro*C process, which then runs the system command.  But is
there a more direct/straightforward solution?



Thanx
