You can hack the single command part of Exec by adding System.Shell as first item, "-c" as second and the full command string as third.
Here is an example of some code of mine I use to make code created scripts executable.

sCommand = Subst("chmod u+x &1", $sLoadedFile)
Wait 0.01
Exec [System.Shell, "-c", sCommand] Wait
