Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Host System Commands from PL/SQL blocks
One solution is to write custom code to call as an external procedure.
A simpler method might be to just write a daemon that starts up prior to Oracle and is controlled through data passed via a table.
The daemon tries to connect periodically, and after doing so, polls the control table on a regular basis for startup instructions.
