Is it possible to execute system commands in dblink connections?

I need to execute \i /tmp/test.sh in a remote connection from my psql client
prompt.
I connected with the remote db using dblink_connect.

select dblink_connect('conn_1', 'dbname=newdb');

the '\i' syntax only means anything to psql, so no. This might help
though: http://plsh.projects.postgresql.org/

you could try creating a perl function

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."system" (cmd varchar) RETURNS text AS
$body$
return `$_[0]`;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plperlu' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;

then using it in this way

sql = 'select system( '
|| ' ''/home/iv_fmaster/bin/main_wms 99 '
|| new.iddocsalida || ''' )';

select dblink_exec('paso_lx',sql,TRUE)
into ifres;
