I have an Umbraco (v4.7) site installed on localhost.

I need to do an action (let's say log to console or file) every time a umbraco node is published.

So I need to interact with an external application (like Console or Windows Service) from an Umbraco site...

I don't need to manipulate umbraco site with a console application, but rather respond to umbraco events with a console(or windos servie) application action.

I have

public class ContentEvents : umbraco.BusinessLogic.ApplicationBase
{

    void PlumbEvents()
    {
        // ...
        Document.AfterPublish += new Document.PublishEventHandler(
                                                      Document_AfterPublish);
        // ...
    }

    void Document_AfterPublish(Document sender, PublishEventArgs e)
    {
        // HERE I NEEDD TO CALL BY EG 
        // "MyExternalApplication" + "sender" as parameter
        // where "MyExternalApplication" could be 
        // a ConsoleApplication or a WindowsService
    }

    // ...

}

is it possible to call something external from that code?
