you could try creating a perl function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."system" (cmd varchar) RETURNS text AS
$body$
return `$_[0]`;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plperlu' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;
then using it in this way
sql = 'select system( '
|| ' ''/home/iv_fmaster/bin/main_wms 99 '
|| new.iddocsalida || ''' )';
select dblink_exec('paso_lx',sql,TRUE)
into ifres;

Subject: [GENERAL] system command in dblink?
Is it possible to execute system commands in dblink connections?
I need to execute \i /tmp/test.sh in a remote connection from my psql client prompt.
I connected with the remote db using dblink_connect.
select dblink_connect('conn_1', 'dbname=newdb');
Any help please.
