Yes, can do that.
Evenmore, the meaning of the capacity in execute shell commands from Oracle is intended to exec scripts, and thats why it's so poorly when you want to do complex shell instructions.

But the thing is that we want to avoid the use of shell scripts. We want to isolate the whole operation from external scripts or programs.


I had the idea of making the shell script from oracle in run time and then launch it, but the gap here is that we cant change file permissions from oracle.

Regards.

smrsh

SMRSH(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  SMRSH(8)

NAME

       smrsh - restricted shell for sendmail

SYNOPSIS

       smrsh -c command

DESCRIPTION

       The smrsh program is intended as a replacement for sh for use in the ``prog'' mailer in sendmail(8) configuration files.  It sharply limits
       the commands that can be run using the ``|program'' syntax of sendmail in order to improve the over all security of your system.   Briefly,
       even  if  a  ``bad guy'' can get sendmail to run a program without going through an alias or forward file, smrsh limits the set of programs
       that he or she can execute.

       Briefly, smrsh limits programs to be in a single directory, by default /usr/lib/sendmail.d/bin/ allowing the system administrator to choose
       the  set of acceptable commands, and to the shell builtin commands ``exec'', ``exit'', and ``echo''.  It also rejects any commands with the
       characters ``', `<', `>', `;', `$', `(', `)', `
' (carriage return), or `
' (newline) on the command line to prevent ``end run'' attacks.
       It allows ``||'' and ``&&'' to enable commands like: ``"|exec /usr/local/bin/filter || exit 75"''

       Initial	pathnames  on programs are stripped, so forwarding to ``/usr/bin/vacation'', ``/usr/bin/vacation'', ``/home/server/mydir/bin/vaca-
       tion'', and ``vacation'' all actually forward to `/usr/lib/sendmail.d/bin/vacation''.

       System administrators should be conservative about populating the /usr/lib/sendmail.d/bin/ directory.  For example, a reasonable  additions
       is vacation(1), and the like.  No matter how brow-beaten you may be, never include any shell or shell-like program (such as perl(1)) in the
       /usr/lib/sendmail.d/bin/ directory.  Note that this does not restrict the use of shell or  perl	scripts  in  the  /usr/lib/sendmail.d/bin/
       directory  (using the ``#!'' syntax); it simply disallows execution of arbitrary programs.  Also, including mail filtering programs such as
       procmail(1) is a very bad idea.	procmail(1) allows users to run arbitrary programs in their procmailrc(5).

COMPILATION

       Compilation should be trivial on most systems.  You may need to use -DSMRSH_PATH="path" to adjust the default search  path  (defaults	to
       ``/bin:/usr/bin'') and/or -DSMRSH_CMDDIR="dir" to change the default program directory (defaults to ``/usr/lib/sendmail.d/bin/'').

FILES

       /usr/lib/sendmail.d/bin/ - default directory for restricted programs on SuSE Linux
