RTEMS is a single address space, single process OS so you can not exec another
process. You can call the shell command handler from any thread. Make sure you
have enough stack for the thread.

Try something like:

int run_shell_command(const char* cmd)
{
  #define CMD_MAX_ARGS (20)
  char* cmd_argv = strdup(cmd);
  int   argc;
  char* argv[CMD_MAX_ARGS];
  int   r;

  if (cmd_argv == NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "shell: command: no memory: %s", cmd);
    return 1;
  }

  if (rtems_shell_make_args(cmd_argv, &argc, argv, CMD_MAX_ARGS) < 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "shell: command: arg parse: %s", cmd);
    free(cmd_argv);
    return 1;
  }

  r = rtems_shell_execute_cmd(argv[0], argc, argv);
  free(cmd_argv);
  return r;
}
