=> yes hooks are the right solution: you have to write a hook for
the lease4_release hook point doing what you like (including calling
system()). Two notes:
 - hooks are synchronous, i.e., the server waits for the return
  (isc-dhcp-server too so it should not be a problem)
 - you can write hooks in other languages than C++
  (I pushed some monthes ago on github the fdxhook branch with
   experimental hooks in python, lua, ocaml, etc)
