sounds like you should be using pl/sh
(http://plsh.projects.postgresql.org/) or pl/java
(http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/).
just remember, try not to get into situation where your function
blocks indefinitely waiting for called program to exist. keep it
short and sweet, or spawn the program off and collect the response in
separate transaction.
