a Script to shutdown a service when a Sybase table reads over a certain count

[d-cam]

Someone at work has requested if i can find out anything on the above.
Been googling around as well as i have only been using Linux for 2 months now.

basically there is a SYBASE ASE installation on the server, which a tomcat based website references.They want the service to stop once a certain row limit is reached in the table.

I know i have to do a count statement on the sybase table from ISQL.
But how can i create the action "service website stop" once the count value reaches 4000 and export the count value to a variable to action on it

any help would be really appreciated

thanks in advance
