PL/sh might be what you're after; you could also use PL/Perl, etc.

What does the shell script do? Having the database invoke external
actions isn't always a good idea; for example, if the transaction
rolls back then you can't undo those actions. Some problems are
better solved with LISTEN/NOTIFY because notifications don't go out
unless and until the transaction commits.
