Hi, although I think it could work, I would avoid it. What happens when your external program throws an exception? I don't know, I have never tried it, but I like my UDFs small and fast and with as little possibility of failure as possible.

Why can't you post an event from after trigger and write another client which will subscribe to that event and will do the printing?
