How ro run unix script freom pl/sql - dbms_scheduler 11.2.0.3

Question

Hi,
Using 11.2.0.3 and have a unix script which works fine.
Want to run this unix script every time a piece of pl/sql runs
have put below in but doesn't actually run it.
How can we achieve this?
Many Thanks
idea is that file we create locqally on server is copied to another via the unix script caled form pl/sql
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program (
   program_name => 'test_executable_prog',
   program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
   program_action => '/oracle/jm/data/dataout/copy_tcfile',
   number_of_arguments => 0,
   enabled => TRUE,
   comments => 'CREATE_PROGRAM test using a schell script.');Tried below but no joy
-- Shell Script (OS executable file).
/*DBMS_SCHEDULER.drop_program(program_name => 'por_copy_files');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program (
   program_name => 'por_copy_files',
   program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
   program_action => ' /oracle/jm/data/dataout/copy_tcfile',
   number_of_arguments => 0,
   enabled => TRUE,
   comments => 'CREATE_PROGRAM test using a schell script.');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
    job_name        => 'por_copy_files_job',
    program_name    => 'por_copy_files',
    start_date      => null,--SYSTIMESTAMP,
    repeat_interval => null,--'freq=hourly; byminute=0',
    end_date        => NULL,
    enabled         => TRUE,
    comments        => 'Job defined by existing program and inline schedule.');Edited by: user5716448 on 03-Oct-2012 08:35

ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory

get
