Re: Execute Unix Command from Stored Proc

You can achieve this by using dbms_pipes. You can pass an instruction to pipe. An unix process (pro*c program) will continuously run on the background and check for any information on the pipe. Once it receives an information, the program can fork an child process through a system command which can perform any OS operation like invoking other programs, executing shell scripts and so on.

Hope this helps.
