UNIX Mail From a Trigger?

Hello Everybody,
To help me monitor Oracle errors as they happen, I was thinking about having an ON-INSERT database trigger fire a UNIX mail message to my UNIX mail account whenever there is a journal entry into my error table.

Has anyone seen this done in a database trigger, or a stored procedure?

I've been able to get the host script to work within SQL*Plus, but I haven't been able to get it to work from a stored procedure or database trigger. Any thoughts or suggestions?
