How can I run an external program from a stored procedure?

Greetings!
 
I'm running PostgreSQL 8.4 on MS Windows Server 2003.
 
Assume I have a program named FlashLightAndSoundHorn.exe.  In my database, there is a table that is read by some other program.  Records in that table have a timestamp, so I can tell how long they've been waiting.  I want a stored procedure that checks to see if a record has been waiting too long, and if it does, then it will run FlashLightAndSoundHorn.exe.  How do I run that program from inside a stored procedure?
 
Thanks very much!
