MySQL UDF sys_exec() doesn't work

Question

I have a trigger which calls a stored procedure with parameters which calls SET result = sys_exec(cmd);. But it gives the error "function sys_exec does not exist".

I don't know what to do, on Tuesday I have presentation and because of this code line my project won't work. The codes which I try to work.

DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE push_message
(p1   int,
 p2   int,
 p3 varchar(20))
BEGIN
 DECLARE cmd CHAR(255);
 DECLARE result CHAR(255);
 SET cmd = CONCAT('curl https://pubsub.pubnub.com/publish/demo/demo/0/mysql_triggers/0/%22',p1, ',' ,p2, ',' ,p3,'%22');
 SET result = sys_exec(cmd);
END$$; 


CREATE TRIGGER push_message_trigger AFTER INSERT ON your_table_name_here
FOR EACH ROW
CALL push_message(NEW.id, NEW.num, NEW.name);

Try Once.

Steps to be followed:

• Get the files from https://github.com/mysqludf/lib_mysqludf_sys

• Go to the folder path in terminal.

• Execute:

  gcc -DMYSQL_DYNAMIC_PLUGIN -fPIC -Wall -m64 -I/usr/include/mysql -I. -shared lib_mysqludf_sys.c -o lib_mysqludf_sys.so
  

  NOTE: If 32-bit OS replace -m64 with -m32 in the above command.

• Execute the following in mysql shell:

  SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'plugin_dir';
  

  This is an example of successful output:

  +---------------+------------------------+
  | Variable_name | Value                  |
  +---------------+------------------------+
  | plugin_dir    | /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/ |
  +---------------+------------------------+
  

• Copy the lib_mysqludf_sys.so file to the above path.

• Execute the following in mysql shell

  CREATE FUNCTION sys_exec RETURNS INT SONAME 'lib_mysqludf_sys.so';
