Summary: exec_msg_nowait request

Initial Comment:
Hello,
For executing external scripts the exec module uses exec_msg, which however 
waits for the external command to end and stops script execution. Moreover 
there is a hanging defunct child process if the command was set to run in 
background.

It would be useful if there was a function accessible through main script that 
will not wait for the programm to end, just fork it and go on. Something like 
exec_msg_nowait. 
In this way if a program fails in some unusual way (for example - no 
interpreter found to execute script) the main process will not wait for it 
forever.
