If $obj and $device2 are PHP variables, they won't be parsed since they are
inside a string delimited by single quotes.

$foo='John';
echo '$foo'; // Prints $foo
echo "$foo"; // Prints John

create a sh script that does the route add and takes 3 input parameters,
$adddelete $obj and $device2

where $adddelete = "add" or "delete"

then

exec('/secure/sed_adddeleteho st.sh $adddelete $obj $device2 "" ');
