I think that there is a plshell implementation rolling around
somewhere, but what I generally do is launch a cron script every so
often that can then check up on PostgreSQL. For example, let's say
you have a table emails_to_send. Cron can wake up a script that sends
your emails for you, and the script is free to use PostgreSQL's
excellent transaction support (something a shell script called from
PostgreSQL cannot really do).
