system(3) is simpler and not less general, in this specific setting  
I'd use that.  If you need some custom environment you may let env(1)  
execute your script with all the needed variables set, e.g.:

     rc = system("env PATH=/usr/sbin:/sbin /mnt/flash/cdBluez-start");

or put the env variables directly into the shell script.

shell_exec is PHP, so I'd avoid that because of the excessive level of  
wrapping: bourne shell which executes PHP which interprets shell_exec  
which in turn exec's cBluez-start :)

ciao, t.
