I don't know if it is the easiest way, but I usually have process that is
running that listens on a DBMS_PIPE and gets what it should run from an
oracle prodcedure that passes it something like 'ls -l'.
I would think that just having the database run any command passed via
something like a system() call would be very dangerous.
