title: How to start a user script from a sql trigger
body: <p>I'm not sure if it is possible. I have an informix database, and I would need to start a bash script from a database trigger. In the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.sqls.doc/sqls487.htm" rel="nofollow">informix documentation</a> explains how to start a user procedure, but it has to be an stored procedure; i would like to start a user program available in the local machine.</p>
