Today, you can't execute shell scripts or file system executables from MarkLogic nor does MarkLogic support CGI. The easiest path to such integration is to stand up a copy of an app server you are comfortable with (Java/Tomcat, ASP, PHP, and so on) and communicate between MarkLogic and that service over http.

There is an open enhancement request to support executing file system executables.
