Hello Jon,
the exec module implementation is not particular efficient. It basically creates a pipe to pass the commands to the shell and forks a new process.
I would not recommend it you have more then moderate load on your system, and/or need to deal with load spikes.
If you need to execute scripts in the Kamailio context, look to the KEMI modules. Otherwise, the asynchronous approach discussed previously is another way.
Cheers,
Henning
