Yes. There are several ways to do this.
1. Write a C routine and have it poll a pipe.
2. Write an external C routine and have it make a system call.
3. Write a Java routine that resides within the database. Search Metalink
for this. They have a nice example with code.
#3 is probably the quickest and fastest to do.
