hi guys,

i'm currently using cron to alert the admin via email of any irregularities (e.g. pike) but i'm wondering, is it possible to do a system call from the cfg script?

there is no email function exported by native kamailio modules. You can use some embedded language to do it, like Lua (see app_lua module), or perl, python, C#... Executed an embedded script is better that using the alternative of running a script/application via exec module, which can be an alternative.

Because sending an email can take time, I would suggest you do it from a dedicated process, like using a combination of mqueue - rtimer modules -- add the allert message to a message queue, consume it from a rtimer process to send the email message.
