Try to use the DBMS_PIPE package to exchange messages between the Oracle Server and UNIX. The message can be the command that you want to execute. Be sure to have a program always running that is listening to the pipe, and when the command appears execute it. Received on Tue Jan 12 1999 - 10:25:22 CST
