Yes you can.
You have several options.
1. Use DBMS_PIPE. write a program on the server which waits for a message to be passed on the pipe. After receiving it runs your program. 2. write a procedure/package on the Server using dbms_utl package to write a file to a directory. Write a shell script which polls or (whatever other mechanism) the directory every 5 minutes. if it finds the file it runs your program. This saves you writing a c program
