Well, You could also use java or perl for that - perfect here would be usage of web services technology (while being quite safe)Might be a dumb question .. is there a way to kick off a OS job / shell script from dbms_scheduler on a server where i donot have the Oracle Server/Client installed. I have tried this out and works out well if you have $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/external_job.ora. But lot of our jobs are on servers where oracle is not installed and we are using cron. And some of these non-database jobsare related to each other. Thanks GovindanK
