How can I call a shell script from within a pl/pgsql function that is called
as from a trigger. I do not want to interact with the script I just want it
to run. I do want the trigger to wait for the script it called to complete
before returning a value.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff Barrett
